BVB striker Batshuayi reveals Atalanta online abuse: Good luck Percassi

Borussia Dortmund striker Michy Batshuayi has revealed he's being targeted online by Atalanta fans.

The on-loan Chelsea forward accused Atalanta fans of racist abuse after the first-leg of their Europa League tie.

Dortmund were eliminated from the Europa League on Thursday, and Batshuayi's Twitter account suggested Atalanta supporters had flocked to his social media profiles, with the intention of goading him.

The Belgian published screenshots of messages, purporting to be from Atalanta fans, who made discriminatory remarks.

Batshuayi also tweeted “good luck with your 'fans'" to Antonio Percassi, who admitted he did not hear them chanting racist abuse at the player during last month's 1-1 draw between the two teams.
