Juventus fans again sang chants against Mario Bawuah Balotelli on Wednesday just four days after racially abusing the Inter Milan striker during a Serie A match.
Sections of crowd at Turin's Stadio Olimpico briefly chanted "Balotelli son of a .." in Wednesday's Italian Cup semi-final second leg against Lazio.
Juventus have been ordered to play their May 3 league game at home against Lecce behind closed doors after chants of "a black Italian does not exist" were directed at Inter striker.
Balotelli who is of Ghanaian descent has turned down an opportunity to play for the West African country.
But the 18-year-old who was born in Palermo opted for Italy and has featured for the Under-21 side.
Other fans in Turin sought to show they are not racist during Wednesday's Cup match, which Juve lost 2-1 to exit 4-2 on aggregate, by expressing their admiration for black footballers Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf, Juve's own Mohamed Sissoko.
"Davids, Seedorf, Sissoko, true champions, true idols," read a banner.
