AC Milan star Zlatan Ibrahimovic was involved in a new controversy Sunday as his infamous temperament got the better of him during a post-match interview, leading him to swear and flick his headband at a female journalist.
Rumors all week suggested Ibrahimovic had had a bust-up with Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri over the club's 3-0 defeat at Arsenal in the Champions League.
Ibrahimovic had complained to Swedish journalists following the game that he felt out of position due to the formation his side adopted.
Although Allegri denied there had been a disagreement, Ibrahimovic was asked about it following Sunday's 2-0 win over Lecce, in which he grabbed the second goal.
Visibly irritated, Ibrahimovic launched his elasticated headband at Sky Italia's Vera Spadini after staring her down and saying, "What the [expletive] are you looking at?"
Milan moved quickly to smooth over matters, stating on their official website that there had later been a telephone call between Ibrahimovic and Spadini to "clarify the misunderstanding between the two at the end of Milan-Lecce."
Ibrahimovic recently served a three-game suspension for slapping Napoli's Salvatore Aronica during a league game.
