Following the match, Davis expressed his anger on Instagram, tagging Dossena and calling him a 'racist coward.' In response, Dossena denied the claims, stating that such behavior is contrary to his values and culture. Udinese Calcio issued a statement supporting Davis and condemning the racist remarks, while Cagliari's coach Fabio Pisacane and teammates defended Dossena, asserting their belief in his character. Additionally, Udinese's Nicolò Zaniolo alleged that Dossena insulted his family as well, intensifying the controversy surrounding the incident.
