Football: Ibrahimovic apologises for red card
Ibrahimovic had only just returned from a two-game ban for striking Bari’s Marco Rossi in the ribs.
ROME:
AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has apologised after getting sent off for a foul-mouthed tirade at a linesman during his side’s 2-1 win at Fiorentina. Ibrahimovic had only just returned from a two-game ban for striking Bari’s Marco Rossi in the ribs. The 29-year-old was already facing a one-match ban having picked up a yellow card during the game, meaning he had earned a suspension for an accumulation of cards over the season. But he aimed a rant lined with expletives at a linesman after a decision went against him.
