Zlatan Ibrahimovic 'Disgusted' by Referee

1 of 5

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's AC Milan crashed out of the Champions League on Tuesday, losing 3-1 to Barcelona at Camp Nou.

According to the Guardian, the big Swede afterwards blasted Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers, who awarded Barcelona two penalty kicks in the first half.

Messi converted both spot-kicks, and Andres Iniesta added Barca's third in the second half.

"

"I'm just disgusted," the Sweden striker said. "They are the best team in the world but at 1-1 and, playing with intelligence, you can do something. [But] I understand better why Mourinho gets upset every time he plays here – in my opinion it was not fair."

"

Ibra should know. He played for Barcelona from 2009-11.

Diego Maradona's Advice for Sergio Aguero

2 of 5

According to talkSport, Diego Maradona has told an Argentine radio station that Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero should move to Real Madrid.

Random advice? Not exactly. Maradona is Aguero's father-in-law.

"

"Kun has to play for Real Madrid. Even though he is flying at City, the best thing would have been to sign for Madrid. He made a mistake," Maradona said.

"Now, as he is doing so well, it will be difficult to get him from City. However if Madrid want someone, they get them.

"Florentino (Perez, Madrid's president) has no limits. It's a question of convincing City - but not with money because they have plenty of that."

"

According to talkSport, Real would swap Gonzalo Higuain for Aguero and send another £10 million to Manchester City as well.
