Napoli on Tuesday blasted Inter's Italy defender Francesco Acerbi's acquittal of using a racist slur against their Brazil defender Juan Jesus for lack of evidence despite the Brazilian saying he had been called a negro.
"We're dumbfounded, Juan Jesus cannot have misunderstood (what Acerbi said)," they said.
"We remain astonished. Napoli will no longer adhere to mere façade initiatives of football institutions against racism and discrimination, we will continue to do them on our own, as we have always done, with renewed conviction and determination", the Azzurri said in a statement.
