Federico Dimarco posted an apology message to Milan supporters on his instagram story late on Thursday evening following his celebrations after Inter knocked their rivals out of the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday night.
The Nerazzurri wing-back was filmed with a microphone in hand leading anti-Milan chants at the Stadio Meazza while the players celebrated with the supporters in the stands, much to the annoyance of the Rossoneri fanbase.
Later that evening, a banner, several metres in width, with an intimidating message was hung on the gates of Dimarco’s home in Milan.
The banner read: “Dimarco, stick to playing or we’ll make you swallow your words,” which was removed minutes later and the incident is now being investigated by the local police, using CCTV footage to identify the responsible culprits.
In response, Dimarco posted an apology to his instagram story for his actions after the final whistle of the Champions League semi, which read: “Tuesday evening after the game I let myself go to a moment of madness. I want to apologise to all the Milan fans who felt offended.”
Though reportedly disturbed by what happened outside his home, Dimarco will join his teammates as usual on Friday as they prepare to face Napoli at the Stadio Maradona on Sunday evening.
