*Matuidi claims racist abuse in
Juventus win over Cagliari*
Juventus midfielder Blaise
Matuidi says he was the victim of racist abuse during his side's 1-0 victory
over Cagliari on Saturday.
The France international revealed
in a post on his official Facebook page that he was the subject of racist
taunts by unspecified individuals.
"Today I experienced racism
during the match," he 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."
It is reported that the specific
incident occurred shortly before half-time, when a furious Matuidi was seen
looking towards the stands at the Sardegna Arena.
It is the second time Matuidi has
endured such abuse in the last 10 days.
