Juventus also wore similar similar shirts that had the words ‘No Racism’ printed across the back. It was good to see Milan taking a stand as they always have on this issue. Milan players Kessie, Bakayoko faced quite of lot of racism last season in the league while others such as Balotelli, Muntari and Boateng have faced similar issues in the recent years. Racism is a global issue that needs to be dealt with and Milan have been at the forefront of calling it out especially in Italy.
Always proud to be a Milanisti and always standing firm against racism!
