Napoli players adopt the "Taking the knee", of US origin, to protest against racism. On the pitch there were not only the 11 starters but also the entire Napoli bench.

This type of protest was born in 2016 before a US Football match in which the players knelt during the US anthem to draw the public's attention to the problems of racism. Napoli beat Atalanta 1-0 in their Serie A clash at the Maradona Stadium on Sunday. The match finished 0-0.
