Rafael Leao was the victim of racist insults this morning. The Milan striker decided to share the post of the Rossoneri fan who targeted him after his recent performances. "I can't stand to see you and I can't bear you anymore", the Milan supporter begins: "I become racist with you on the field. You're highly on my nerves, get out as soon as possible you and those who follow you".

Racist insults to Maignan, Udinese's appeal partially accepted: they will play two matches with the North Curve closed

Leao's Response

Leao responded to this message: "Unfortunately, there are still people in the world with a small mind". A direct attack on this pseudo-fan, with Milan stepping up: "Rafa we are with you. In our fan base and in football there is no room for racism". This is not the first time a Rossoneri player has been a victim of racism. The last one in chronological order was Mike Maignan, who had stopped the match with Udinese because of the insults received from the Friulian curve. On that occasion, the game was stopped by Maresca and then the guilty parties identified and banned from the stadium.
