Brazilian national team member and midfielder of the Juventus club Douglas Costa uploaded a video to his Instagram stories showing a tombstone bearing the name of Napoli’s striker Lorenzo Insigne, causing public outrage.
During the championship parade, Costa was broadcasting live on his Instagram when he noticed a poster of a tombstone that was being carried by some of the club’s fans.
He made a video showing a depiction of the fan’s procession, which looked like they were carrying Insigne’s headstone for burial.
The members of the Napoli club reacted negatively to the offensive joke, expressing their indignation on Twitter.
“We are truly outraged by the shameful and insulting attitude of some players of Juventus. This is a serious gesture that offends the dignity of the people and Neapolitan’s Insigne. This is unacceptable,” the club said in a statement.

He has been playing for the Napoli club since 2009. This season, the striker played 36 games for the team and scored eight goals.
