"If it continues, then the match will be stopped."
Twitterers had their own reaction to the news. One even reached out to @PTIshow, a daily sports news program in the United States.
schram Wonder how my man Momo Sissoko feels while Juve's own fans are singing racist songs against Inter's Mario Balotelli. Idiots.
