AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi may have landed himself in hot water after making what many Rossoneri fans will probably see as an inappropriate joke following their disastrous Champions League exit last night.

According to Gazzetta, he joked, "The other day a Milan fan told me, 'I am crying for Milan' I replied, ‘Yes, I’m crying too but I’m also the one putting up the money.'"

While the comments were seemingly off-the-cuff, some Milan fans failed to see the funny side of the Rossoneri's recent demise and reports suggest a portion of the Diavoli faithful are becoming increasingly frustrated with their current president.

Berlusconi also failed to endure himself to Milan fans when he admitted today that he turned off his side’s match against Manchester United last night at half-time.

It’s been a pretty depressing 24 hours or so for the Italian prime minister who has also been heavily criticised for having a journalist removed from a press conference yesterday.
