Nice striker Mario Balotelli shocked by Bastia abuse

Nice striker Mario Balotelli is shocked by alleged racial abuse from Bastia fans.

Balotelli has hit out at Bastia fans, accusing them of racism after making "monkey noises" during Nice's Ligue 1 fixture on Friday.

The former Manchester City and Liverpool striker rapped: "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 the 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."
