Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sent off for AC Milan in their 3-1 victory over Parma on Saturday after INSULTING referee Fabio Maresca.
With the Rossoneri leading 2-0 after the hour mark, the veteran striker was sent off after confronting the refereee.

It is not clear what Ibrahimovic said, but the referee went straight for the red card without a yellow warning first.
It is not the first time referee Fabio Maresca has clashed with someone high-profile.
In January, Inter boss Antonio Conte was handed a two-match ban after confronting the official.

Ibrahimovic’s red, which was his fourth for Milan, was remarkably his first Serie A dismissal in 3353 days due to his nine-year spell out of Italian football.
His dismissal did little to change the impact of the result, however, as Milan ran out comfortable 3-1 victors.
Stefano Pioli’s side have now closed the gap to fierce rivals Inter to eight points, though they face Cagliari on Sunday at 11am.
