The Belgian was sent off in the convulsive Juventus-Inter finale

Joy and anger for Lukaku. First the goal, on a penalty, for the 1-1 final. Then the second yellow and subsequent expulsion. Criticized for his exultation, Big Rom was defended by Roc Nation, the agency that manages his image rights.

“The racist insults and chants made by Juventus fans against Romelu Lukaku are offensive and cannot be tolerated. Romelu celebrated in the same way he has celebrated goals in the past. The referee’s response was to punish Romelu with a yellow card. Romelu deserves an apology from Juventus and I expect the league to immediately condemn the behavior of this group of Juventus fans. The Italian authorities should use this opportunity to combat racism, rather than punishing the victim of the abuse. I am sure the soccer world shares these sentiments,” the words of Michael Yomark, president of Roc Nation. Whether there will be any action on this issue remains to be seen.
