" SHAME ON YOU ! "Mario Balotelli wrote on Instagram on Sunday after once again being the target of racist cries from supporters of Lazio Rome when their team moved to Brescia.
"A defeat that hurts but we will come back stronger, we are on the right track. Lazio supporters who were present at the stadium today, HONTE A VOUS! #saynotoracism, "wrote the Brescia striker after his team's 2-1 loss.

In the first half, Balotelli addressed the referee, Mr. Manganiello. The latter briefly interrupted the match while the announcer read a message reminding that the game would be stopped if the incidents continued.
At the start of the season, Balotelli had already been the target of racist cries in Verona, where he came close to leaving the field definitively.
Racist incidents and the phenomenon of monkey cries are recurrent in Italian stadiums and, this season, the Belgian from Inter Milan Romelu Lukaku, the Ivorian from AC Milan Franck Kessié, the Brazilian from Fiorentina Dalbert or the 'English Sampdoria Genoa Ronaldo Vieira have already been victims.
