The goalkeeper of the team "Juventus" Gianluigi Buffon decided to joke after the Italian Cup semi-final match against "Milan".
The 42-year-old Italian was signing autographs in the corners of the arena when he suddenly saw a Chinese person.
"I'm watching you. Coronavirus? Damn, are you from Wuhan?" - joked the veteran, soon proving that he had no intention of alienating the fan.
However, the Chinese community in Italy was outraged by such behavior of the player and accused him of racism.
Earlier, an apology was issued by "Tottenham" star Dele Alli, who had insulted an Asian on social media, claiming that he did not have coronavirus.
