I am the victim - Muntari furious after alleged racist jeers

The ex-Milan player claims the referee's failure to take action against racist chants led to him leaving Sunday's clash in protest

Pescara midfielder Sulley Muntari says he left the Serie A match against Cagliari after the referee failed to take action to halt alleged racist chanting from the stands.

Muntari was booked late in his team's 1-0 loss at Stadio Sant'Elia, apparently for dissent after confronting the match official.

The former Ghana international, who responded by walking off before the final whistle, has since claimed his premature departure was an act of protest following his perceived mistreatment at the hands of sections of the home crowd.
