Hello World!

Paul Pogba has come out in support of Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the Swede was accused of racism for referencing “voodoo” in a bust-up with former Manchester United teammate Romelu Lukaku. Tempers flared between Ibrahimovic and Lukaku as they lined up on opposite sides when AC Milan met city rivals Inter in the Coppa Italia quarterfinal at the San Siro on Tuesday night. The two forwards exchanged words at the end of the first half before coming together to butt heads. After Lukaku reportedly threatened Ibrahimovic that he would "see him inside," the Swede was heard taunting Lukaku with the phrase “call you mother” and “go and do your voodoo,” also supposedly labeling him a “little donkey.” The row continued as the players went off toward the tunnel, with Lukaku yelling “f*ck you and your wife” at the AC Milan forward. Ibrahimovic’s “voodoo” jibe was taken as a reference to claims made in 2018 by Everton shareholder Farhad Moshiri that Lukaku – who was formerly a player at the club – had consulted a witchdoctor to help decide on his next move away from the Merseyside club. Lukaku denied the claims and later threatened to take legal action against Moshiri. After Ibrahimovic revived memories of the row with his comments toward Lukaku, he was accused in some quarters of racism.
