Blaise Matuidi: 'I experienced racism during match at Cagliari Calcio'

Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi takes to social media to say that he was racially abused during his side's 1-0 win at Cagliari Calcio on Saturday.

Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi has claimed that he was racially abused during his side's 1-0 win at Cagliari Calcio on Saturday.

The Serie A game took place just two days after Hellas Verona received a suspended partial stadium ban and fine for a section of their fans racially abusing the 30-year-old.

Matuidi appeared to ask the referee to intervene in the incident before half time and tackled the issue in a post on Facebook later on Saturday.

"Thanks for all your messages. Today I experienced racism during the match," the Frenchman wrote.

"Weak people try to intimidate with hate. I am not a hater and can only be sorry for those who set bad examples.

"Football is a way to spread equality, passion and inspiration and this is what I am here for. Peace. #equalgame"

Federico Bernardeschi scored the only goal of the game 16 minutes from time as Juve recorded a sixth win in seven games to head into the two-week winter break one point behind leaders Napoli.
