Denzel Dumfries gleefully grabbed a banner from a fan and showed it off during Inter’s Scudetto celebrations, depicting Milan star Theo Hernandez as a dog on a leash.
The pair had an ugly clash during the Derby della Madonnina on Monday night, which saw both players sent off.
Dumfries was therefore suspended for today’s 2-0 win over Torino at San Siro, but joined his teammates for the open-top bus parade through the city streets.
He spotted a banner held aloft by fans and asked to have it handed to him, holding it gleefully over his head.
It depicted himself holding a dog by a leash that had the face of Theo Hernandez.
Dumfries had already hinted at this nickname, mentioning ‘the dog’ during their Scudetto celebration livestream on social media.
Trop ghetto. 😭

Within his rights to mock theo! He has managed to get theo sent off not once but twice in derbies! Well played to him!
Okay big man, but remember, France and Holland play each other in the EURO’s this year 🙂
He will get him sent off then as well. Theo begins to make fouls when he thinks he’s up vs anyone who could test him. Zionolo did it a few years ago and of course Theo aided England back into the game during the World Cup. when he comes up against decent opponents, he loses his cool.
Should I mention that Denzel also got a red card? Or is Albert so far out in his own universe, that there is no real point?
But Denzel won the match and the league. He had the last laugh.
Hahah well done Dumfries!!!
