AC Milan striker Ibrahimovic insists red card all a misunderstanding

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to appeal his red card after victory over Parma.

The Swede was sent off for insulting the referee.

But Sky Italia says Ibrahimovic told Milan coach Stefano Pioli, it might've been a misunderstanding.

Ibrahimovic seemingly said after a discussion over a foul: “Ah so you don't care what I say? That seems strange…" in a sarcastic tone.

Instead, the referee might've heard 'strano' as 'bastardo' – which doesn't require much translation.
