Didier Drogba has moved to support former Chelsea teammate Romelu Lukaku.
Inter Milan striker Lukaku, on-loan from Chelsea, was sent off in the first-leg of Coppa Italia semifinal at Juventus.
Lukaku was shown a second yellow card for taunting Juve fans in response to racist chants.
Drogba has since taken to social media to state: "When your talent and strength start to hurt them and you get bigger and better, their stupidity arises."
Inter have hope of Lukaku's suspension being overturned for the second-leg with the semifinal score locked at 1-1.
