SHAKHTAR’S Brazil star Fernandinho has said he would go “wild” if John Terry used racist language in front of him.

Chelsea captain Terry was hit with a £220,000 fine and banned for four domestic games by the FA for racially abusing QPR’s Anton Ferdinand in October last year.

But he is free to lead out the Blues in Ukraine tonight in their Champions League clash with Donetsk.

Disgusted Shakhtar vice-captain Fernandinho, 27, said: “If someone was ever racist towards me, I would go wild.

“But I’m happy to say I’ve never suffered such an act in my time playing in Brazil or Ukraine. In my opinion, if someone commits such a crime, it should be very severely punished.

“Racism in football is one of the most unpleasant things in our time.”

Fernandinho reckons Shakhtar can defeat the Champions League holders tonight — and go on to win the whole thing this season.

He added: “We know we will have a very hard game but we will beat Chelsea in both games.

“Beating Chelsea at home will give us a better chance to qualify for the last 16.

“We all believe we will reach the finals and win the Champion’s League this year — and beating the defending champions will show everyone how far we have come.”
