Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku were handed fines by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) on Monday for their part in an on-field altercation during an Italian Cup tie in January.
AC Milan forward Ibrahimovic taunted Inter Milan striker Lukaku during the local derby quarterfinal by evoking voodooism before the pair went head-to-head, trading insults with a furious Lukaku needing to be restrained by his teammates.
