What happened in Inter vs AC Milan?

Via Ibrahimovic, who fired home in the 31st minute to open
the San Siro scoring, AC Milan had taken the lead.

 After Lukaku took exception to a foul by Milan’s defender
Alessio Romagnoli, Tempers flared up just before the break. Ibrahimovic moved
in and squared up to the angry Belgian while exchanging heated words, with the
two going head to head.

Christian Eriksen scored deep in stoppage time.

What did Lukaku say to Ibrahimovic in Inter vs AC Milan?
 

In an invitation to participate in a further confrontation
in the tunnel, Lukaku could be clearly heard by the on-pitch microphone telling
the Swede: “Well let’s go inside you b*tch!”

By sending both players a yellow card, referee Paolo Valeri
attempted to recover some semblance of influence.

How many games will Lukaku miss?

As the first half came to an end, as the teams went down the
tunnel for half-time, both players appeared to be restrained.

Nicolo Barella also got involved by attempting to keep back
Lukaku, while Fikayo Tomori aimed to hold back Ibrahimovic, making his Milan
debut after only joining Chelsea on loan. 

What did Ibrahimovic do to get sent off in Inter vs AC Milan?
 

Ibrahimovic got a second yellow card for a challenge on
Inter defender Aleksandar Kolarov just after the second half started and was
sent off in an incident that did not include Lukaku.

 “Milan coach Stefano Pioli said: “His willingness
to track back and assist the team contributed to the second yellow card. He may
have slowed down, but it will happen.

What was said after the match?

Inter coach Antonio Conte commented on the incident, and if Lukaku
told him what Ibrahimovic had said, “To be honest, I was a player, so I
know that during a game tempers can flare and situations can occur when you get
angry.” Holding things in the right dimension is the important thing.

 It was great to see that Romelu was so focused and focused.
Ibra has a winner’s determination, a fighter, and in that aspect, I believe
Romelu is rising. I can only be grateful that I saw him fired up.

“Pioli, the Milan counterpart of Conte, said:
“They’re two adults, they said something to each other, I don’t know what.
It happens, we have to look forward to it. It’s in the correct dimension.

What didn’t work was that it was much more difficult, down
to 10 players, and we were foolish to give the penalty away with the foul.
