Udinese director Balzaretti condemns Maignan abuse

Udinese director Federico Balzaretti says they'll take immediate action over racist chants aimed at AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

The match was suspended for five minutes after Maignan complained about the barracking.

Balzaretti said after Milan's 3-2 win: “This is a club that has worked for over 30 years to be the most ethnically diverse possible, the city is an example of integration, so clearly if we find the person responsible, we will take action,.

“We do not tolerate any form of racism, even if it was a single person.

"The FIGC prosecutor will investigate and that is still being studied, but I wish to underline that the club has never seen these problems before."
