After Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku got involved in a war of words, the Swedish striker denied on social media that he made racist comments. Romelu Lukaku also threatened to kill the AC Milan footballer.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku, former teammates at Man Utd, were in the headlines during and after the Milan derby. 

After getting up face to face and verbally abusing each other, the AC Milan striker told the Inter one "Go to your voodoo s**t, you little donkey," 

This led to some people calling Zlatan a racist even though the Swede argued that he had a point. In the past, the Everton owner said that Lukaku was guided by voodoo rituals

In any case, Ibrahimovic wanted to put doubts over his racist intentions to bed on social media. He also included a video of two kids running and hugging each other. 

"In Zlatan's world, there is no place for racism, we are all equal," the AC Milan man said on Twitter. 

Ibra ended the tweet with a dig at Lukaku. "We are all players, some better then (sic) others".

'La Gazzetta dello Sport' also reveals that Lukaku told Ibra after the fight, before going to the dressing room: "I'll shoot you in the head".
