Boateng wrote: “Enough is enough! I am with you, Blaise Matuidi. We need to stand strong and fight racism NOW!!! We are all the same.”

Meanwhile, Cagliari have also apologized to Matudi for his alleged racial abuse at the hands of their fans.

A statement of the club’s official Twitter page read: “You're a great player, an example to young players.

"We want to apologise to you if you were insulted at the Sardegna Arena because of the colour of your skin.

"Racism has nothing to do with the Sardinian people. Only ignorance can explain certain behaviour. Respect."
