An Italian television station says it will not use one of its pundits again after he made a racist comment about Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku.

Speaking on TopCalcio24, Luciano Passirani said: "If you go one-on-one with him he will murder you.

"The only way to come up against him is maybe give him 10 bananas to eat..."

Programme director Fabio Ravezzani said, despite Passirani's "immediate apologies" that "he could no longer participate in our broadcasts".

Lukaku, who moved from Manchester United to Inter in the summer, helped his side to a 1-0 win against Udinese on Saturday.

"Mr Passirani is 80 years old and to compliment Lukaku he used a metaphor that turned out to be racist," added Ravezzani.

"I think it was a terrible lack of momentary lucidity.

"I cannot tolerate any kind of errors, even if momentary."

Lukaku was recently subjected to monkey chants by Cagliari fans when he scored a penalty for his side in a 2-1 victory.

Afterwards, the Belgium international said the abuse
showed the game was "going backwards".

Stupid pundit

Na wash ... Oga don dey find a way to sack that one , an average italian is racist . Still some of them are good .. I still love and hate them ... they are crazy

This is really unfortunate

Racism/Racist attacks/statements, can never be eliminated......

Once caught, they must be made to face the highest punishment......

Shocking..

Serves him right.

When it comes to european nations, Italy has always been the worst.

Nations like the Netherlands, the UK and France are still better nations with regards to race relations

Hmmm.....i heard that.

The is the fault of buhari

Lukaku, the best thing you can do to the haters is keep scoring.


I realise that if you are focused and good at what you do, others will shut the haters up for you.

A fool is known by what he speaks with his tongue, it's only a matter of time when the content of the heart spills out from the lips

Stale news. I know say BBNaija nogo aloow unah report current news.

Good thing though cuz Italians/most Europeans are core racists.
