Sadio Mane Backs Senegal Teammate Kalidou Koulibaly Following Alleged Racist Chants in Italy

Liverpool winger Sadio Mané has posted a picture on social media showing that he's in solidarity with international teammate Kalidou Koulibaly, who was allegedly subject to racist abuse against Inter on Boxing Day.

His club side Napoli tried to get their match at San Siro postponed three times due to the vile abuse Koulibaly was subject to, but the authorities instructed the game to go ahead and Inter eventually stole all three points thanks to a late goal from Lautaro Martínez.

After the match, Koulibaly - who was sent off for two quickfire yellow cards - released a statement where he hit back at the supporters in Milan, while Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti threatened his side would just walk off in anything like this ever happened again.
