Teammate: Kean Must Take 50-50 Blame For Racist Chants

Teammate: Kean Must Take 50-50 Blame For Racist Chants

Blaise Matuidi confronting the Cagliari supporters

Moise Kean should take "50-50" of the blame for the racist chants aimed at him by Cagliari supporters on Tuesday night, according to one of his Juventus teammates.

Click through the gallery above to see some images of Kean and Blaise Matuidi's reactions to racial chants against Cagliari.

Kean and Blaise Matuidi were subjected to racist chants during Juventus' 2-0 win over Cagliari at Sardegna Arena on Tuesday night.

The Frenchman had previously revealed that, during a match against Cagliari last year, he was subjected to racist abuse, while Sulley Muntari also suffered some abuse at the same stadium in 2017.

However, Juve defender Leonardo Bonucci feels that Kean, who ran to celebrate in front of the Cagliari supporters after he scoring on Tuesday night, is partly to blame for the racial jeers that came his and Matuidi's way in the fixture.

"Kean knows that when he scores a goal, he has to focus on celebrating with his teammates. He knows he could've done something differently too," Bonucci told Sky Sport Italia, according to Football Italia.

"There were racist jeers after the goal, Blaise heard it and was angered. I think the blame is 50-50, because Moise shouldn't have done that and the Curva should not have reacted that way.

"We are professionals, we have to set the example and not provoke anyone."
