Mario Balotelli claims that he will walk off next time he is racially abused by opposition fans during a football match.

AC Milan forward Mario Balotelli has threatened to walk off the pitch if he is again racially abused during a football match.

The 22-year-old had racist chants thrown at him during the Rossoneri's goalless draw with Roma at the San Siro in Serie A on Sunday.

"I always said that if it happened in the stadium I will just do like 'nobody says nothing and I don't care,'" he told CNN. "But this time I think I've changed my mind a little bit. If it's going to happen one more time, then I'm going to leave the pitch because it's so stupid.

"I spoke with Prince (Kevin-Prince Boateng). I was about to leave the pitch on Sunday, but they thought I wanted to leave because we had some difficulty with the game and then we are going to win 3-0.

"I said 'no, it's better we play and I will talk,' that's it. But if it wasn't for this reason, then I was going to leave the pitch on Sunday."

Roma were fined €50,000 (£42,500) for their supporters' conduct.
