edit: I suppose if his intention was to point out the color of his skin and those are the words he chose then I stand corrected.
It's different when you hear it from a friend or someone you know because you know what their intention is. In this case it's coming from a stranger, go figure.

Juve blast Rai over Benatia incident

by Football Italia

Juventus and Medhi Benatia hit back at Rai Sport’s “factually unbelievable and technically implausible” explanation for a racist insult.

The incident occurred after last night’s 1-1 draw with Torino, when Benatia via video link was listening to the studio on an ear-piece.

He heard a racist insult through the ear-piece, so many presumed it was a technician who had his microphone on and hadn’t realised he would be heard.

Rai released a statement todayinsisting their investigation had ruled out the possibility of it being one of their employees who said that phrase.

“Following the regrettable insult Medhi Benatia heard through his earpiece during Calcio Champagne, Juventus Football Club wishes to express its concern over the incident,” read a statement.

“While acknowledging the RAI statement expressing solidarity, everyone - and the player first and foremost - deserves an explanation about what occurred.

“A number of informal comments, including on social media, have suggested the alleged "interference" came from the production service Juventus provided Raisport at Juventus Stadium.

“That suggestion is factually unbelievable and technically implausible, given the audio line (n-1) runs directly from RAI headquarters in Milan into the earpieces. On-site production does not have direct contact with the guest.

“Juventus hopes that Raisport's internal investigation continues without them resorting to excuses which tend to play down what happened and distort the facts.”

Benatia also reacted on social media with a message that read: ‘I am MOROCCAN and very proud of that.’

Damn, was hoping on a discount since he played less than expected and had a few errors. Any idea is he's in for the long run or will he be sold this summer?

17m is reasonable, altough he hasn't been amazing. You won't get a better CB for any less. I'd keep our CB setup for the next season and once Caldara arrives in 2018, assess the situation again.

funny thing is, Bayern could have very well used him this season, considering they only have 2 CBs + Alaba and Martinez, and that they had an injury crisis in the crucial part of the season
