Maradona: 'I also faced racist abuse from fans in Italy'

Napoli club legend Diego Maradona has revealed that he too faced racist abuse from fans during his time in Italy as a player.

The Argentine recently posted a message on Facebook following incidents that saw Kalidou Koulibably face racist abuse during the Napoli- Inter Milan game recently. 



The post said: "I played for seven years in Napoli, and I also suffered the racist songs of some fans. I still remember the flags that said "Welcome to Italy". I feel Neapolitan and today I want to be with Kalidou Koulibaly. I hope that all this helps to end with racism in football once and for all. Greetings to all!"
