As we showed on Sunday, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made the transition from kicking teammates to slapping opponents. And to prove his new hobby, Zlatan has allegedly done it again already. After the final whistle in Juventus' 2-1 win over Milan in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semifinal, Ibra argued with Juve keeper Marco Storari and, according to Juve defender Giorgio Chiellini, Ibra also gave him a slap.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic non ci sar contro la Juventus, ricorso permettendo. Sembra soltanto essere questa l'unica ed insostituibile verit in casa Milan, in queste ore, dopo che si è appreso che la squalifica del numero 11 sar triplice. L'idea di giocare la partitissima del 25 febbraio senza lo svedesone sembra gettare un enorme macigno su ogniContinua a leggere .

The world's most over rated striker receives a three match ban for slapping Napoli's Salvatore Aronica. To be fair Aronica also indulged in some extra-curricular activities against Antonio Nocerino but Ibra's was a reputation call. He will miss crucial matches against Udinese and Juventus.

Big blow for AC Milan's title hopes as striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been suspended for three matches for his red card against Napoli, meaning he will miss the top-of-the-table clash with Serie A leaders Juventus.

Ibra was sent off midway through the second half of Sunday's 0-0 draw with Napoli at the San Siro after he slapped opponent Salvatore Aronica in an off-the-ball incident.

Milano chiude il primo week end di febbraio, in Serie A, portando sotto la Madonnina 0 gol fatti, un pareggio striminzito contro il Napoli per il Milan (con tanto di rosso a Ibra, a rischio stangata) mentre l'Inter rimedia quattro schiaffi all'Olimpico contro la Roma. Proprio questa Roma, così fresca e spumeggiante e targata LuisContinua a leggere .

Having mastered the art of kicking teammates, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now moved on to slapping opponents. Zlatan was sent off in the 64th minute of Milan's 0-0 draw against Napoli for reaching around teammate Antonio Nocerino to slap Salvatore Aronica in the face. If the slap is ruled to be a violent gesture, then Ibra will have to serve a three-match ban.

Grazie ad una prova di grande forza e, nello specifico, alle reti di Ibra (su rigore) e Nocerino, il Milan espugna Marassi, manda ko il Genoa di Malesani (a rischio esonero) e sorpassa, momentaneamente, la Juventus in vetta alla classifica di Serie A (27 punti per il club di Via Turati contro i 26 dellaContinua a leggere .

The week started as a soap opera, segued gently through fantasy into fashion commentary before coming to rest in Xabi Alonso's shorts.

Nella serata che ci regaler le grandi emozioni della supersfida tra Ibra e Messi, tra Milan e Barcellona, partiamo però, in ordine cronologico, dal big match della Bay Arena tra il Leverkusen e il Chelsea. Due punti li dividono in classifica, con i londinesi primi a 8 e le "aspirine" seconde a 6. I BluesContinua a leggere .

Lazio e Udinese sole al comando. Questo il verdetto che arriva al termine dell'undicesima giornata di Serie A, anche se aspettiamo di capire cosa accadr in Genoa-Inter, ma soprattutto Napoli-Juventus, rinviate per i noti e tragici fatti (maltempo e alluvioni) di Genova e della Campania.

For the past two to three weeks, this story has been the most followed in footballing circle, especially related to La Liga. We heard about how Villa feels that he is being hard done by Messi, we also heard about Liverpool and Chelsea already waiting to land the unsettled Spanish national hero and the story goes on.

... and whinier than ever.
So, Ibrahimovic wrote a book in which he cries about how mean Mr. Pep bullied his existence and shattered his dreams. Because, you know, we can't expect him to be over it over a year later. Well I'm here to pick his whining apart quote by quote... starting from where he begins by pointing fingers at Messi (oh, this is going to be fun):
"Playing at Barca was a childhood dream and I was walking on air.

The Milan tifosi and players rallied together last night to show their support for Antonio Cassano, the AC Milan striker who will undergo an interventional cardiac surgery (of his heart) to close the 'foramen ovale'. Doctors only ruled this when they discovered he was suffering from ischemic brain damage and he has been ruled out of football for up to six months.

'No, honestly. It's fine. Break the two hundred goal record and celebrate with him first, why don't you?' Image: MICHAL CIZEK/AFP/Getty Images.

Potentially a three-fer here, people.

Milan-Bate di Champions, terminata con il risultato di 2 a 0 per i rossoneri, assomiglia un po' a quelle scatolette tipicamente russe dette Matriosche: più le apri e più contengono qualcosa, scatolette piccole dentro scatolette più grandi.

Alla Bay Arena, nella seconda serata settimanale di Champions League, si sfidano due squadre del Gruppo E, i tedeschi del Bayer Leverkusen e gli spagnoli del Valencia. Match intrigante che promette spettacolo, con i "pipistrelli che si affideranno a bomber Soldado, mentre le "aspirine" sfrutteranno l'arma del contropiede per attaccare gli spagnoli.

The news today surrounding the Milanello is about the apparent unsettledness of strike pair Antonio Cassano and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Adriano Galliani has been forced to quell increasing speculation that the two are not happy. Perhaps in the case of Ibra there is some truth. The player has in recent days expressed his lack of [.

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is confident that AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not be leaving the Serie A champions any time soon. This news comes after the Swede openly hinted at an early retirement from the game.

Ibrahimovic who was largely responsible for Milan's Serie A triumph last season, openly stated in an interview last week that he was getting old and that football had become more of a routine job for him.

Oh hey, that's Thiago Silva and Pato on the verge of doing a samba dance! IBRA-whoooo? Ah, yes, such is the sweet tune of football you just want to keep proving yourself worthy of a place in first-team football. If these two irmãos keep up the momentum, the World Cup will come calling and so will the festa de SAMBA!

The always exciting Swedish international has announced to the world that he plans to leave professional football for good in the fall of 2014 when his contract with Milan runs out.

Although Ibra has set the date for his retirement, he has also set the bar high for his achievements with AC Milan over next few years as to not let down his supporters too much.

I want to start off by acknowledging the response to the previous article. Thank you. And I am sorry I wasn't able to respond to the many considered opinions that were shared. Right now I am really struggling for time, which is also forcing me into compressing two or three articles worth of content in one.

Although it isn't a recent image, the photo isn't that old either. Both the Rhino with his shades and Ibra with the pinstripe are definitely in fashion and styl'in the Milano way. Why not show some post-season lov'in for the Rossonero times two right. Heck you gotta love these guys and at least they've left their clothes on for show.

Saturday

- We had harsh words for the owl-kicking Colombian player after we caught wind of the incident, but they weren't nearly as bad as his court-mandated punishment. Luis Moreno must pay an undisclosed fine, foot the bird's treatment bill and perform community service at the local zoo.

There are many things that will be remembered about the 2010-2011 Serie A season, both fondly and infamously. Of course, people will remember Milan's Scudetto and Bari's relegation, Inter and Roma's thrashings in the Champions' League and Napoli's dramatic late goals. Here's a series that focuses on some of the other things that should be remembered about a fantastic season, full of both the bizarre and the unbelievable.
