Cagliari president Tommaso Giulini defended the home fans amid allegations of racist abuse aimed at Moise Kean last night.

The Juventus striker, who scored in the win, was the subject of abuse throughout the match.

But Giulini says: “I don't want people to start being self-righteous about it, because I heard that already, whereas Juventus players came to me afterwards and confessed Kean was wrong to celebrate that way.

“We cannot go around calling the entire Cagliari crowd offensive things. If there were racist jeers, then our fans got it wrong, but it happened because of the celebration and would've happened even if the goalscorer had a different colour of skin.

“All I heard were whistles and jeers, but if you with your microphones picked up a few isolated racist insults, then of course those were wrong, but there's no need to be self-righteous about it and cast a shadow over the entire Cagliari fanbase or the club."
