Arrigo Sacchi has rapped Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli for his behaviour at Juventus on Saturday. The former AC Milan coach has dismissed claims he was racially abused, instead insisting: "I understand that with Balotelli there was a dispute, but do not talk about racism. That is, if it were an episode related to racism, the public in Turin would have in their sights even (Sulley) Muntari.

"Balotelli unfortunately does everything to be disagreeable and in Italy you cannot grow without showing respect for the culture that should reign within the stadiums. All people should seek to live in a more ethical manner."
