Materazzi on racism: "Thuram never left the pitch when fans called me son of a bi***"

The 'Festival dello Sport' 2021, event organized by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', has become a war of words for Lilian Thuram and Materazzi.

The former French fullback used the event to promote the fight against racism in football claiming on Thursday  that white players should also stand against the issue: "White players should not remain silent in the fight against racism". 

Materazzi replied to Thuram's words on Friday: "I stand against racism, but Thuram never left the pitch when fans called me son of a bi***".

"That is also discrimination, against white people, black people or son of bi*****", claimed the former Italian center back.
