Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli on Suffering Racist Abuse in Italy (Video)

Racism has unfortunately become a burning issue in football, and following the case of Cagliari fans abusing Inter Milan’s Romelu Lukaku and the so-called “statement” of a section of Inter fans which condoned such behaviour, Italian Serie A has come under heavy criticism for being far too lenient in dealing with the problem.

Here is Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly, remembering a similar experience of his own.

No footballer, no human being, should ever have to go through this. #SayNoToRacism NOW pic.twitter.com/axTgVC0fv5
