Serie A racist abuse row: Raheem Sterling belittles Leonardo Bonucci's comments on Moise Kean abuse

The Hindu  

Raheem Sterling has criticised Leonardo Bonucci after the Juventus defender claimed teenage team-mate Moise Kean was partly to blame for the racist abuse he suffered during Tuesday's Serie A match at Cagliari. Bonucci's remarks – and those of Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri, who also accused Kean of provocation but called for life bans to be handed to any perpetrators found – had already come in for criticism by the time Manchester City winger Sterling had his say via an Instagram story post. "7 Sterling was one of the England players targeted by racist chanting during last week's 5-1 Euro 2020 qualification win in Montenegro and he marked completing the scoring by cupping his ears towards the home crowd. UEFA subsequently charged Montenegro, who face a partial stadium closure following a spectacle the organisation's president Aleksander Ceferin described as a "disaster", and Sterling urged strong punishments after the match.
