“Are you talking about my mother?” – Lukaku goes after Ibrahimovic

Once they were teammates, Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic probably won’t become friends anymore. In the quarterfinals of the Coppa, the two best forwards collide violently.

Inter Milan win the spectacular quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia against Milan 2-1. The outcome of this game takes a back seat. Because the only scene shortly before the break whistle is the main topic of conversation. Romelu Lukaku wants to go after a foul on Milan captain Alessio Romagnoli. Zlatan Ibrahimovic does not want to allow that and interferes. Then the emotions completely boil over.

The two star forwards, who were once Manchester United teammates, collide and must be separated from their teammates. Then the trash talk begins. Ibrahimovic, 1.95 meters tall, calls Lukaku, who is four centimeters smaller, a “burrito.” The Belgian gets irritated and yells: “Let’s go in”. Ibrahimovic’s reaction: “Call your mother, call your mother.”

Referee Paolo Valeri has seen enough, he shows the two fighters the yellow card and whistles moments later for the break. Lukaku is still 180 and wants to face the Swedes. “Come on, let’s go in,” says Ibrahimovic. The Inter forward responds: “Do you want to talk about my mother? Son! “

Of all things, Eriksen gives Inter luck

Fortunately, the two fighters can stay away from each other to avoid a full escalation. After the seemingly relaxing tea break, the two attackers reacted and no longer got into their hair. Ibrahimovic, who gave Milan the lead in the first half, was sent off the field in the 58th minute when he saw a second yellow card after a foul.

And Lukaku? He hits in the 71st minute to equalize and continues to power in the final minutes. But someone else became the big winner of the match: Christian Eriksen, who entered just minutes earlier, scored Inter in the 97th minute with a perfect free kick for victory. Eriksen, of all people, who so seldom makes it to the train and wants to leave with Antonio Conte, leads Inter to the semi-finals of the Coppa, where the Nerazzurri meet the winner of the Juventus Turin duel against SPAL Ferrara.
