Serie A: Zlatan Ibrahimovic stirs up controversy after lockdown restaurant 'meeting'

Firstpost  

Rome: Zlatan Ibrahimovic was again in the headlines for non-football reasons on Monday after he was reportedly pictured in a Milan restaurant while the city was in a coronavirus lockdown. Italian news website Fanpage published photos it says were taken at lunchtime on Sunday of the AC Milan forward with friends, all without masks and surrounded by wine glasses, in the restaurant which should have been closed to on-site diners. A source from Ibrahimovic’s entourage claimed to AFP that the Sweden attacker was there for a “work meeting”, while the restaurant’s owner Tano Simonato told Fanpage that the group, which he says also included former Milan player Ignazio Abate, had not eaten in the restaurant. The photos caused controversy also because in the autumn Ibrahimovic, who contracted COVID-19 in September, promoted social distancing and mask wearing for the Lombardy regional government. He also got into a spat with American basketball superstar LeBron James in February when he said athletes should “stay out” of politics, mentioning James by name and calling him out over his political activism.
