Italy: Serie A side Cagliari clears of racist chanting towards Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku

Cagliari have been cleared of racist chanting towards Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku in a Serie A match

Chants were geared towards Lukaku as he was about to take a penalty in Inter Milan’s 2-1 victory at the Sardegna Arena

However, according to a sports judge acting on behalf of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), there was not enough evidence for any sanctions

Cagliari however ever fined 5,000 euros for throwing plastic bottles on to the field at Parma over the weekends

The report suggested that chants, shouts and whistles were directed at Romelu Lukaku by Cagliari fans, but there were not enough evidence in “size and perception” to bring about any form of punishment against the club and its supporters

This is for the third time that the club has been investigated for alleged racist abuse in the last two years after cases involving Moise Kean and France midfielder Blaise Matuidi but no action has been taken on each occasion
