Romelu Lukaku says he knew he would be faced with racist abuse in Serie A when he joined Inter from Manchester United this summer – but he is enjoying life in Italy regardless.
As racism continues to plague the game, the 26-year-old Belgium international was subjected to abuse from the stands when Inter beat Cagliari 2-1 in September.
He scored the winner in that game, and his total of nine league goals for Antonio Conte’s side sees him trail only Lazio’s Ciro Immobile on the Serie A top goalscorers chart.
