The Nice player backed up his team-mate after he claimed Bastia fans made "horrible" racist insults towards him during their Ligue 1 game on Friday
Nice midfielder Wylan Cyprien has supported Mario Balotelli's claims that he was subjected to racist abuse during last week's 1-1 Ligue 1 draw at Bastia.
Balotelli played the full 90 minutes at the Stade Armand-Cesari last Friday and later claimed a section of the home supporters targeted him with monkey noises , labelling the experience as "horrible".
The French Professional Football League (LFP) has announced it will investigate incidents from the game and said in a statement it "deplores all the incidents that occured during the SC Bastia - OGC Nice meeting".
