Ibrahimovic asks fans to send a vengeful message to ex-team-mate Calhanoglu

Zlatan Ibrahimovic could not resist having a dig at former team-mate Hakan Calhanoglu as he demanded AC Milan fans to send the Inter midfielder a message during their Serie A title parade.

Milan pipped their local rivals to their 19th Scudetto with a 3-0 win over Sassuolo on Sunday thanks to Olivier Giroud's brace and Franck Kessie's goal.

And Ibrahimovic used their title celebrations as a chance to rub the victory in the face of former team-mate Calhanoglu, who crossed the city divide last summer.

Standing atop the team's open-top bus, the Swede addressed the hoard of celebrating fans through a microphone and asked them to send a vengeful message to their former player.

According to Sporf, he striker demanded: 'Send a message to Hakan [Calhanoglu]!' To which the crowd replied: 'S**t!'

Calhanoglu shocked fans by making the move to Inter last July when his contract at Milan expired.

The Turk further burned bridges shortly after his departure, when he said that he wanted to join Inter to 'win something in Italy', according to Goal.

His wish was granted as Inter lifted the Coppa Italia with a 4-2 win over Juventus in the final earlier this month.

However, Milan will feel their league victory, which they pipped their rivals to by two points, will count as a vengeful success over Calhanoglu.

He also hardly helped matters when he claimed that Inter were 'a great team' because 'they often beat Milan in derbies'.

Calhanoglu's first clash against his former side came in November when he was welcomed by boos from the Milan fans before slotting home a 10th-minute penalty as the game ended in a 1-1 draw.

The second Derby della Madonnina saw Milan emerge victorious with a 2-1 win that handed them an advantage in the Serie A title race.

However, Inter enacted revenge as they knocked their Milan rivals out of the Coppa Italia in the semi-finals on their way to clinching the trophy.
