A competition Swede denies allegations
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has quickly responded to allegations of racism related to comments he made Romelu Lukaku during AC Milan’s Coppa Italia defeat to Inter on Tuesday evening.
The pair were both booked when they locked the horns and exchanged insults on the field, and a comment from Zlatan has attracted particular attention.
“Call your mom, do your voodoo shit,” Ibrahimovic would have said Lukaku.
The voodoo reference sparked racism, but the Swedish attacker was quick to dismiss that idea.
“In Zlatanthe world, there is no room for racism, ” Ibrahimovic posted in an Instagram post.
“We are all one race. We are all equal. We are all footballers, one better than another.”
Ibrahimovic placed the message alongside a viral video clip in which two young boys, one black and one white, hug each other.
