Milan‘s title parade saw the Rossoneri mock city rivals Inter multiple times and Football Italia shows the five most controversial moments of their celebrations.
The Rossoneri have won the 19th title in their history and the first one in 11 years. Players have been celebrating with fans for a couple of days and held a title parade in the streets of Milan on Monday, the day after their win over Sassuolo.
Milan star Theo Hernandez had mocked Inter twice after the final whistle. He first told Sky Sport: “Everyone said Inter were the favourite; let’s see what they say now.” When the Rossoneri returned to Milan to celebrate in front of the club’s headquarters, the France international started an anti-Inter chant (VIDEO).
Milan’s taunts continued the following day, during an open-top bus parade when Zlatan Ibrahimovic told Rossoneri fans to ‘send a message to Hakan [Calhanoglu].’ (VIDEO)
The Turkey star had left the club at the end of his contract in June, joining Inter as a free agent.
The most controversial moment was also during the parade when some Milan players showed a banner that read: ‘Put the Coppa Italia up your ….’ It was a similar banner to the one lifted by Massimo Ambrosini in 2007 after Milan had won the Champions League and Inter conquered the Serie A title. The banner shown by Milan players yesterday led to an investigation by the Disciplinary Commission.
Milan players had previously put up another banner with Simone Inzaghi’s face and the writing ‘Spiaze.’ It’s not a proper Italian word, but the pronunciation of the word ‘Spiace’ (sorry) in the dialect of Emilia-Romagna, the region where Inzaghi comes.
Aside from the investigation by the Disciplinary Commission, Milan players have been criticised by former Italy striker Aldo Serena who didn’t quite like the way some players celebrated.
