  The Swede, now Milan's senior adviser, also criticised the decision to send off Theo Hernandez for diving in the 1-1 draw at San Siro, but reserved most of his ire for underperforming players as they were knocked out 2-1 on aggregate.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Milan seemed to be on top in the tie when Santiago Gimenez gave his side the lead on the night and levelled the aggregate score at 1-1 inside the first minute on Tuesday. Hernandez was then sent off for diving in the 51st minute before Julian Carranza delivered the fatal blow with 17 minutes to play.

• WHAT IBRAHIMOVIC SAID

  Ibrahimovic told : "Feyenoord were not better than us, we just killed ourselves. We are disappointed. The referee has been severe with Theo Hernandez with no warning before the red card. Theo is not an actor, he does his best."
