“You are a gypsy”, they told him in a game that the referee stopped for almost a minute to send a message over the public address system for the chants to stop, without success

The striker responded with a last-gasp goal that he dedicated to the stands even when teammates and the referee himself tried to avoid the confrontation

The Serie A Sports Judge sanctioned this Tuesday the Atalanta with the closure, during the next match in Bergamo (north), of the stands that uttered racist chants last Sunday directed at the Serb dusan vlahovicJuventus player.

The “Curva Nord Pisani” will therefore be closed on May 20 during the match against Hellas Verona as a penalty for having insulted Vlahovic during discount of a match that ‘Juve’ won (0-2).

“You are a gypsy”, intoned said section of the Gewiss Stadium in a game that the referee stopped for almost a minute to send a message over the public address system to get the chants to subside, without success.

The striker responded in his own way, with a goal in the last sigh which he dedicated to the stands even when teammates and the referee himself tried to avoid the confrontation.

The referee ended up showing him a yellow card which, taking into account the recent precedent in the case of the Belgian Romelu Lukaku -pardoned by the president of the Italian Federation-, it is expected that he will be withdrawn, although for the moment the Serb appears as admonished.
