Matuidi claims racist abuse in Juventus win over Cagliari*


*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.
