His caption read: Yesterday the result against Bastia was right.
“We will work more and try to get our objective.
The referee was good too but I have a question for French people.
“Is it normal that Bastia supporters make monkey noise end “uh uh” for the whole game and no one of the “commissions discipline ” say nothing?
“So is racism LEGAL in France? Or only in Bastia ? Football is an amazing sport .
“Those people like Bastia supporters make it horrible !”

Balotelli then added that the fans should be ashamed of themselves in Italian and in French: "VERGOGNA DAVVERO. UNE VRAIE HONTE ."
The 26-year-old is sadly no stranger to racial abuse, having suffered heavily during his time at Inter Milan from rival fans.
While he was also subjected to vile chanting from his OWN supporters at a World Cup training camp with Italy in 2014.
A study in 2015, showed Balotelli received a staggering 4,000 racist messages on social media.
