Ibrahimovic Urges AC Milan Players to Reflect on Performance After Champions League Exit
Former Football Player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic urges AC Milan players to reflect on their performance after the team’s recent Champions League exit.
He stated that the struggles were from the team and they need to work on themselves before they can get a good performance.
Ibrahimovic also shares his concern on the referee’s decision of giving a yellow card to Theo Hernandez for diving during the game.
AC Milan started off well in the match but after Hernandez’s dismissal in the 51th minute the game changed for the team. This became an advantage for the other team and they utilized it well.
Speaking to Sky media, Ibrahimovic stated “Feyenoord were not better than us, we just killed ourselves. We are disappointed.”
“The referee has been severe with Theo Hernandez with no warning before the red card. Theo is not an actor, he does his best.”
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is not at risk of being sacked despite their 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final on Wednesday. Sky Sports reports that the club still sees Amorim as a key part of their long-term plans.
Even though United missed out on an automatic Champions League spot, the defeat won’t affect their faith in the 40-year-old coach. After the match in Bilbao, Amorim said he would step down immediately without asking for compensation if both the club’s board and fans no longer supported him.
Amorim took over from Erik ten Hag in November when United were 13th in the league. Since then, the team has slipped three more places, hovering just above the relegation zone. They have also been knocked out of all three cup competitions this season.
Lionel Messi has revealed the goal he holds dearest out of the hundreds he’s scored in his legendary career. The Inter Miami forward, now 38, picked his header against Manchester United in the 2009 UEFA Champions League final as his personal favorite.
Messi, who has found the net over 800 times while playing for Argentina, Barcelona, PSG, and now Inter Miami, said that despite scoring more beautiful and important goals, the one in Rome stands out for him. “That header in the Champions League final has always been my favorite,” he said.
The goal, which came as Barcelona’s second in their 2-0 win over United, saw a much shorter Messi rise above Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic to beat goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. The moment not only sealed a memorable win for Barça but also helped Messi secure his first Champions League trophy with the Spanish giants. It’s now considered one of the most unforgettable goals in the tournament’s history.
