Former Manchester City and Liverpool striker asked if racism was legal in France on Saturday night after the Nice striker was subjected to monkey chants from Bastia fans.

Balotelli slammed the French league after Friday night’s 1-1 draw for not reacting quickly enough to the abuse, with an investigation now opened into the horrible scenes.

“Is it normal that Bastia supporters make monkey noise [and] ‘uh’ ‘uh’ for the whole game and no-one of the ‘commissions discipline’ say nothing?” Balotelli wrote, referencing the French league’s disciplinary committee.
