After the match, Milan manager Stefano Pioli talked about Ibrahimovic receiving the red card.
“The confrontation certainly influenced the match, the first booking caused the sending off,” Pioli said via Il Sole. “They’re big enough and ugly enough, I don’t know what they said to each other, it can happen, we need to move past it and think of the next match.”
D'altra parte, Inter Milan’s manager Antonio Conte, stuck up for Lukaku.
“I’ve been a player, so I know that during a game tempers can flare and situations occur when you get angry,” Conte said. “It was good to see Romelu so concentrated and focused. Ibra has the determination of a winner, a warrior, and I think Romelu is growing in that aspect. I can only be happy to see him fired up.”
