Zlatan Ibrahimovic has denied using racist language in his clash with Romelu Lukaku in the Milan derby on Tuesday night.
AC Milan forward Ibrahimovic and Inter striker Lukaku were involved in a number of incidents on the pitch – before Ibrahimovic was eventually sent off.
Inter won the match 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Christian Eriksen.
“In Zlatan’s world there is no place for racism,” the Swede tweeted.
However he then added an apparent dig at his former Manchester United teammate by adding: “We are all the same race – we are all equal !! We are all players some better then others.”
What happened?
Ibrahimovic, 39, put AC Milan in front in the 31st minute but he was then booked for his part in a head-to-head clash with Lukaku, who had to be pulled away as he tried to confront the Swede when the players left the field at half-time.
It was one of several clashes between the players.
