Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has called for a lifetime ban for the spectator who threw a banana at Richarlison during Brazil's friendly win over Tunisia.
Richarlison scored in the 5-1 win in Paris but saw a banana thrown onto the pitch during his goal celebrations. The following day, Richarlison called on football’s governing bodies to take firm and swift action against those responsible for the racist attack, with Thiago Silva among the players offering their support.
Tottenham followed suit with their own condemnation of the incident and now Conte, speaking ahead of Tottenham's weekend trip to Arsenal, said: "We have to take the good part of the situation, you know? Richy played with the national team, and scored a goal.
"Then I think what happened is incredible because in 2022 to be witnessing this type of situation is embarrassing for everybody. I hope these people can be banned from football for the rest of all their lives.
"It is a situation that is very disappointing to make a comment about. I want to take the best part of the game from Richy and he scored three goals and he enjoyed to play with Brazil."
