Everton Luiz Leaves The Pitch In Tears After Being Subject To Vile Racist Abuse

Everton Luiz was subject to vile racist abuse from home fans during the Partizan Belgrade's away-win over Rad yesterday.

Every time he touched the ball, the 28-year-old was subject to monkey chants from a group of Rad supporters.

The Brazilian midfielder grew so frustrated from the chants he left the field and once the game concluded, Luiz was left in tears over the incident.

The referee and match stewards sent out a public message telling fans to halt the chants, but shortly before the end of match Rad supporters waved a banner with an insulting message against the Brazilian.

Luiz then gave the fans the finger, sparking a shoving match between the two teams.

Speaking after the game Luiz said: "I've been suffering racist abuse during the entire 90 minutes and also was upset by the home players, who supported that. They were all attacking me.

"I want to forget this as soon as possible. I love Serbia and the people here, that is why I cried. But please say no to racism!"

Partizan manager Marko Nikolic gave a honest assessment of the incident claiming it was the reality of the domestic league.

He said: "It's a return to the reality of Serbian football."

Speaking of his players reactions, he added: "Everton should not have reacted but something provoked his outburst, didn't it?"

Disgusting scenes from the fans.
