However, the match also saw an inappropriate gesture from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who left the field twenty minutes before the end, pointing his hand at the referee and miming a pistol with his hands. Aymen Abdennour commented on Ibrahimovic’s behavior, saying, “On the pitch, Zlatan is a bad guy. But apart from that, he’s nice, huh!”
In response to the incident, Ibrahimovic stated, “There is everything on the television images. I’m not here to explain what happened. The referee didn’t see anything, and he said so. Neither does his assistant. Fortunately, the cameras recorded everything. I have nothing to add. What happens on the ground stays on the ground.” Despite the controversy, Ibrahimovic was not sanctioned by the referee, Mr. Enjimi.
The incident involving Ibrahimovic’s gesture is likely to be a topic of discussion in the coming days, adding another layer to the match’s narrative.
