Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has accused AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic of slapping goalkeeper Marco Storari following the Bianconeri's 2-1 win in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semifinal at San Siro on Wednesday.
The Sweden international recently made the headlines for all the wrong reasons when he received a red card for slapping Napoli defender Salvatore Aronica and Chiellini insists that Ibrahimovic lost his temper once again in Wednesday's game.
"What happened at the end of the game with Ibrahimovic? I wasn't involved, but the same thing that happened between Ibrahimovic and Aronica last Sunday happened with Storari now," Chiellini said to Sky Sport 24.
"I hope that someone spotted the incident and that it will have consequences. Of course, things happen during a game, but you deserve to be punished if you make a mistake like this."
"Nothing dangerous happened, but the gesture he made was the same as what he did last weekend."
Ibrahimovic was handed a three-match ban for his dismissal against Napoli, but the Rossoneri have appealed the decision.
