Rivalry is one of the most sacred things in football, and players and clubs’ representatives must always keep that in mind, on and off the pitch.An example that proves that things do not end on the “green carpet” comes from Italy, from the City of Fashion.Namely, Inter Milan’s former owner and chairman Massimo Moratti organized a birthday party a few days ago and invited, among others, AC Milan’s senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic and manager Sergio Conceicao, who both played for the Nerazzurri during Moratti’s spell.Both Sérgio Conceição and Zlatan Ibrahimović were invited to Massimo Moratti’s 80th birthday party today, but declined. 😂🧂[via @Gazzetta_it] pic.twitter.com/WTnyGOe6QX— Inter Xtra (@Inter_Xtra) May 16, 2025 However, as per reports from Italy, the Rossoneri’s duo – politely or not – declined the invitation! Truth be told, considering Milan’s current situation and the club’s favourite to qualify for any of the three UEFA competitions, Ibra and Conceicao definitely didn’t need another “blunder” that would further trigger their fans.Fall of a giant – AC Milan miss out on EuropeIbrahimovic spent three years (2006-2009) at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and, interestingly, left for Barcelona in pursuit of trophies, just one season before Inter’s famous triple they won in 2010.On the other hand, the Portuguese spent one less season (2001-2003) with the Nerazzurri but failed to win any silverware.##NAJAVA_MECA_8939225##
