Kalidou Koulibaly says he's 'proud' of Romelu Lukaku for fighting racism after the Inter Milan star was subject to monkey chants by Juventus fans... as the Chelsea defender recalls racial abuse he received while at Napoli

Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly has insisted he's 'proud' of Romelu Lukaku and how the Inter Milan striker reacted to being racially abused by Juventus fans.

Lukaku was subjected to monkey chants from a section of Juventus supporters behind the goal where he converted a penalty in the fifth minute of stoppage time to earn Inter a 1-1 draw in their Coppa Italia semi-final first leg.

Monkey noises though were heard coming from Juventus supporters behind the goal before and after he took the penalty, as well as the Italian equivalent chants of 'f*** off' and 'f***ing monkey'.
