One Roma supporter was thrown out of the Bodo/Glimt stadium after allegedly hurling racist abuse at an opponent, while Olympique Marseille reported racist insults from Lazio fans.
Italian football continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Two more cases of racism were reported after Roma and Lazio’s games in Europe last night.
The Giallorossi faced Bodo/Glimt in Norway, while the Biancocelesti hosted Olympique Marseille at the Stadio Olimpico.
According to reports in Norway, a Roma fan was expelled from the Bodo/Glimt stadium after targeting with racist abuse a player of the opponent team.
Media reports he made ‘racist claims and emitted animalistic sounds.’
Things do not look any better on the other side of Rome, where Olympique Marseille reported racism cases at the Stadio Olimpico during their Europa League game against Lazio.
“Following the presumption of racist screams against our players, the club reiterates its strong condemnation of all forms of discrimination,” the Ligue 1 giants wrote on Twitter.
“OM reserves the right to lodge a complaint in case UEFA confirms these serious accusations.”
