FIGC President Gabriele Gravina claims the spat between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku was ‘not pleasant’ but insists the strikers do not deserve exemplary punishments.
The Inter and Milan forwards were involved in a spat during a Coppa Italia quarter final clash on January 26.
The Swede caused Lukaku’s anger by telling him: "Do your voodoo s***" and risks a long ban if he is found guilty of racist abuse towards Lukaku as the Federal Prosecutor has opened an investigation.
“It was something not nice to see, but I wouldn’t talk about exemplary punishments,” Gravina told Il Corriere della Sera.
“However, a decision must be taken by the Federal Prosecutor,” the FIGC President added.
Milan’s technical director Paolo Maldini defended Ibrahimovic while Beppe Marotta suggested the Inter striker was provoked.
