FIFPro, the worldwide representative organisation for professional footballers, and UEFA jointly condemn the racist abuse aimed towards Napoli player Kalidou Koulibaly.
UEFA say they are "very concerned" by Inter's apparent failure to follow the European governing body's protocol on racist chants.
Fans at the San Siro hurled monkey chants at Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly during Wednesday's match, according to Carlo Ancelotti.
Three announcements were made over the loudspeaker imploring fans to stop the chants, but they continued unabated.
According to UEFA's protocol, the match should have been suspended at that point but instead the game was allowed to continue.
In a statement released on Friday, UEFA along with world players' union FIFPro, pointed out that the match should have been halted.

it’s truly disgusting that racism still happens in football today, how is it possible that we turn a sport of love and joy into hate, whatever the color, gender or relegion we all are equal humans beings no difference. Racism in football diminishes the beauty of the game which is terrible. It degrades the value of humanity points deduction would be a far more powerful disincentive for abusive supporters and also to give heftier fine and to deny them home advantage for some game fixtures is seen as much more likely to hurt supporters and club revenue Peace and love to every football fan in the world and let's kick out racism and abuse in football. Let's respect and not judge players or fans in the game. SAY NO TO RACISM

Honestly,just look at his skin colour.It is so beautiful.Mashallah.Every person has a different colour and hardly the same.As we haven t give him his colour,lets appriciate the colour the creator has given him.And to be honest I do love Koulibaly s colour.His colour suits the jersy more than any other whitish Napoli player.

One of the best players of all time was African so I don’t get why people are racist. We are all human no matter the color of our skin. It is horrible that this is still going on. Hate to see it.

I now see the reason Inter was knocked out of group stages of the UEFA champions league by a team playing for nothing, football is a beautiful sport, went your team lose, respect the opponents and move ahead, in this case it was still draw but the fans abuse a world class player in Koulibaly, too bad courage bro, you are the best
