Juventus defender Jonathan Zebina was struck by an ultra before yesterday's 2-1 win against Atalanta.

The Frenchman was slapped across the back by the fan was he entered the team bus.

Zebina admits he was left disappointed by the incident after the match.

"I do not think that Italy is a racist country, but I regret that the image of this country is tainted by episodes like this. I believe that for the basis for episodes like this, there is some racism," said Zebina.

"Next season I may play on with Juve. If the club asks me to leave, so be it, otherwise I'll stay. I will not be the one asking to leave."
