Napoli Boss Carlo Ancelotti Threatens To Stop Match ‘Next Time’, After Kalidou Koulibaly Allegedly Suffered Racist Abuse From Inter Milan Fans

The Senegalese defender was subject to taunts from rival fans throughout the match.

Kalidou Koulibaly was eventually sent off in the match for sarcastically applauding the referee following his first caution
It’s a shame because twice we asked for the match to be suspended for the racist chanting towards Koulibaly,” Ancelotti told the club’s official website.

“It shook him – he’s a good-mannered player and he was bombarded by the stadium. Despite our requests and the chanting, the game wasn’t suspended. I think it should have been. Next time we’ll stop playing ourselves.

“It was impossible for him to be calm – he cares a lot about the issue of racism and he commits a lot of time to the matter, including in society.
What happened today is unacceptable – not just for us but for Italian football as a whole.”

Koulibaly posted a message in Italian on his personal Twitter account following the match.

He said: “I’m sorry for the defeat and above all to have left my brothers! But I’m proud of the colour of my skin. To be French, Senegalese, Neapolitan: man.”
