Romelu Lukaku has spoken about the racism he has faced while playing for Inter Milan this season, saying: "I take my anger out on the field."
During Inter's 2-1 win away at Cagliari, as Lukaku went to take a decisive penalty in the second half, he was subjected to monkey chants by a number of home fans.
Cagliari subsequently escaped punishment after the Italian Football Federation's (FIGC) sporting justice panel ruled that the chants could not be considered discriminatory in terms of their "scale and realisation", despite clear video evidence and the fact that Cagliari are repeat offenders whose fans, only a few months prior, racially abused Moise Kean.
Speaking to the New York Times about the incident, Lukaku has revealed what was going through his mind when he heard the chants. "[I thought] I'm going to score. I'm going to win. I'm going to go home," he said.
"I've been confronted by it many times in life. You build a type of shell. I take my anger out on the field."
