Video emerges of USMNT & Juventus star Weston McKennie being targeted by racist chants during Lazio Coppa Italia clash

McKennie was substituted in the 89th minute of Juventus' victory over Lazio in the first leg of their semi-final, in which he assisted Dusan Vlahovic's goal. On his way off, he was subjected to chants from sections of the crowd. It is unclear which fanbase was responsible at this point.

This is not an isolated incident for McKennie or Italian football as a whole. In November of last year, Fiorentina were hit with a suspended partial stadium ban after racist abuse of the USMNT star, as well as team-mates Vlahovic and Moise Kean.

It is yet to be determined whether either club will face sanctions for the alleged abuse but it is an issue that Italian football must take action on.
