The Italian Football Federation confirmed Lukaku with a statement. According to the statement, the match director sanctioned the player's conduct as illegal, influenced by the hatred and racial discrimination of the opposing supporters.
After being released from the ban, Lukaku said the decision was a big message for the fight against apartheid.
Lukaku has returned to form after a difficult period. As a result, he is silencing the critics with the game. So the Belgium star is celebrating his trademark goal of keeping his mouth shut after scoring a goal. 11 days ago today, he did the same after scoring the equalizer in the semi-final against Juventus.
But for that celebration, the striker left the field after receiving a second yellow card. The match referee showed a yellow card as his behavior was racist. His behavior was described as 'provocative'.
