Hakan Calhanoglu hit out at his former Milan teammates for their insulting Scudetto celebrations and relished revenge with Inter in the Supercoppa. ‘Karma comes around. We gobbled Milan up.’
The Nerazzurri dominated in Riyadh this evening with a 3-0 scoreline thanks to goals from Federico Dimarco, Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez.
If most Inter players will resist saying this was revenge for losing out on the Scudetto last season to their arch-rivals, then Calhanoglu is more than open to admitting the tension behind the scenes.
“It is a very important trophy, even more so for me. I thank my teammates and fans, we showed today with a 3-0 result that there’s not much to argue with,” Calhanoglu told Sport Mediaset.
Milan caused controversy in May when celebrating the Serie A title with insulting chants aimed towards their former teammate and even joking around with a blow-up doll that had his jersey.
Revenge, it is safe to say, is served cold in the Calhanoglu household.
“Of course, I always prefer to stay quiet. It was very nasty for me to see things I did not expect, but karma comes around. Karma comes around. We were hungry today, they have to respect that with a 3-0 result, we sent them home quickly.
“I think today we gobbled Milan up. That’s all there is to it.”
Will this victory help propel Inter forward in the Scudetto race too, with Napoli running away at the top of the Serie A table?
“We believe to the end. We did well against Napoli, had that slip-up against Monza that nobody expected, but got back on track with Verona. There’s a long way to go and we can do it.”
Rosario, how can you comment anything? Milan were trounced. You won the scudetto because everyone else was even worse. Now it’s Napoli who have an extra gear.
Theybwon because the lega rescheduled the bologna game and inter had a day between matches. Paper scudetto and the worst team to win since the last milan. They wanted to make things interestig so they got the league against inter as well lastbyear. Pathetic
He can have this meaningless “trophy”, still not gonna get the scudetto.

Milan win scudetto because they were the best – as simple as it sounds. Regardless what you say, it won’t change that fact.
Radu says hello by the way!
I guess he’s still sore over the Scudetto then…
Milan not in great shape at present and some recent poor recruiting is coming to the fore. Needs much, much more from the two Belgian Robert Aquafrescas – De Katelaere and Origi.
Dear Cashanoglu, you have exactly zero Scudettos. All Milan players have at least one. You can talk when/if you win the Scudetto. Until then…
“I always prefer to stay quiet.” – It was his very words, posts, and actions (the derby) that provoked that animosity. Players did and do switch between the two teams, but Hakan did not help himself with his provocations. Congrats to Inter for the Supercoppa.

Not to mention the clear robbery when Giroud fouled Sanchez but the ref Guida guided Milan to a fluke 3 points that effectively ‘won’ them the Scudetto. Will be the last Scudetto Milan win for a while
This is Milan‘s true level when match officials are fair and not favouring them, 3-0 a casa.
Pioli is on fire changes to Pioli is in fire😂 Milan will win their next silverware maybe in 10 years.
@ All-Inter
You do realise we are above you on the league right? Not only that but we’re having a dip in form now. That won’t last. I am not saying we will win the league but we are far from written off
Karma comes back? 😀 What? 😀 I know he is an idiot, but to this much extent?
I mean you can have the supercoppa any day.
And even if it meant anything, how is this karma? This guy has issues.
Karma comes back??? You said it, YOU said it. Wait for the karma to come back at the end of the season. 😉
