World stars defend Italian Juventus teenager

Paul Pogba, Raheem Sterling and Memphis Depay are among the stars that have defended Juventus striker Moise Kean as the Italian experienced racist abuse in a match against Cagliari in Serie A.

Kean was called racist throughout the game that Juventus won 2: 0 on Tuesday evening at Sardegna Arena.

When he scored the second goal of the Bianconeri in the 85th minute, Kean was moved with hands extended to Cagliari’s ultras fans, who reacted even more sharply and abused openly with racist calls.

Miralem Pjanic and Giorgio Chiellini solidified with him after the game, but Leonardo Bonucci and – a little bit more – coach Max Allegri claimed that the Italian teenager provoked Cagliari fans.

However, Pogba wrote in his support: “I support every fight against racism, we are all the same. O good Italian people, wake up because you can not let a small group of racists speak in your name. ”

Depay wrote on Twitter: “How embarrassing we are still talking about racism in 2019! We need to get up against this! We are all the same! ”

However, the strongest message came from Sterling, who had previously called for war on racism.

“The blame is 50-50, Leonardo Bonucci. All you can do now is laugh, “Sterling wrote.
