– Italian Serie A side Torino FC has faced backlash on social media for posting a photo of one of its black players kneeling in front of a white one, although many have defended the club, saying it was merely a poorly executed post.

In contrast, Lukaku, who has been racially abused by fans numerous times this season, has seen his tweet met with a largely positive response despite negativity from some white Italian fans.
