But after the game the former Manchester United man claimed “the whole stadium” erupted into racist chants throughout the game.

He said the chants occurred on two different occasions during the game where he scored and bagged two assists.

Speaking to Esporte Interativo, the 26-year-old said: “I said it last time when I was with the national team.

“Uefa now has to do something about it, because things like this in stadiums is not right.

“Today it happened twice with me and that is not right with people.

“We are in 2019, there are many players with many different nationalities in their teams.

LUKAKU TARGETTED AGAIN

“When there are people that for me are bad, at the stadium, that’s not a good example for the kids.

“I hope that Uefa now do something about it, because the whole stadium did it when Lautaro [Martinez] scored the first goal, and that’s not good for the people watching this game.”

Martinez grabbed two goals and Lukaku also scored as Inter won 3-1 to keep alive its hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages.

Lukaku also had a goal waved off by the VAR because of a foul on Slavia forward Peter Olayinka at the other end leading to a converted penalty for the hosts.

Lukaku held his hand to his ear after the VAR decision, apparently to bring attention to the racist chants.

Then Belgian international was previously targeted with monkey chants by Cagliari fans during a Serie A match in September after he scored a penalty.

Shockingly, the Italian side avoided punishment with the country’s Football Association deciding the noises “were not discriminatory”.
