Yesterday's Italian Cup match was boiling with passion. In a fierce encounter, "Inter" defeated "Milan" 2:1 in the city derby, and one of the most significant events of the match was the red card earned by the "red and black" leader Zlatan Ibrahimović. However, the Swede apologized for his actions after the game. "Zlatan apologized to me and his teammates in the dressing room. This once again proves that he is a true champion," said "Milan" coach Stefano Pioli. Z. Ibrahimović's red card will not affect the "Serie A" championship matches - he will not miss any games, according to the Italian press.
