Milan president Silvio Berlusconi was so angry with the performance against Manchester United, he switched off the television as guests in his residency looked on, according to La Repubblica.
The chief got up in a huff after Wayne Rooney's second goal soon after the restart and switched off the game during a special dinner in front of 20 of his senators.
Berlusconi asked if it would be ok to turn off the game, claiming it was better not to watch it, such was his frustration.
It is said Berlusconi's attitude was care free, and he didn't even check to see what the final result was.
Milan returned from Manchester bruised, battered, and out of Europe after they lost 4-0 in the second leg.
