Surely Benitez did most of the work, after Milan's stumbles they had gotten close and the second derby defeat was the final blow.

I love them both! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It seems like Inter are getting back to their good old self.

Strange no-one's brought it up yet. Gattuso was filmed signing "Leonardo uomo di merda (Leonardo piece of sh*t)" along with the fans during the celebrations in Rome. Here is the footage. Today, Leonardo responded to the situation.

Leonardo hits back at Gattuso

Inter boss Leonardo has asked Gennaro Gattuso for an explanation after the Milan man sang a derogatory chant about him during the Scudetto celebrations.

Following the 0-0 draw with Roma which clinched the Scudetto, Gattuso joined in with a section of the Milan fans as they chanted against the former Rossoneri boss.

The incident hasn’t been lost on Leonardo, a man who joined Inter in December, and he’s gone as far as making a statement on the Inter website.

"The day I decided to leave Milan, Gattuso said to me that I had at least been coherent in my choice,” the note from the Nerazzurri boss states.

“But today I read in lots of papers that he still wants to give his own version of events.

“I would very much like to know what he has to say, since neither on the phone nor in person has that ever been possible.

"Furthermore, I would like to know what Milan's official position is on this matter.”

Leonardo and Gattuso had a difficult relationship while the Brazilian was in charge of the Diavolo last season.

“Leonardo is upset about this,” Inter President Massimo Moratti stated when questioned on the subject.

“The incident speaks for itself. It’s something that is not representative of Milan, but of the man even if I think something needs to be done.

“There’s no polemic, these things happen in moments of excessive celebrations. It’s normal, because it has been a long time since they’ve had such a party.”

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani is eager to play down the situation. “Let’s not make a drama out of this,” he said. “I haven’t seen the footage but I think it is just a venial sin.”

Take your smelly piece of underwear and get the fudge out to Russia! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/realmad.gif) That's all I have to say. There was a time (just a few years back) when I used to say that we were the classiest club around, and people used to agree. Not a single person used to dispute this fact. Sadly this is not the case now.

I was watching it live the shtick Gattuso pulled in the inter match leading up to the red card, and our eventual defeat. Now no single player should have the monopoly on the starting XI. We don't even know what transpired in the dressing room that night. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) For all we know Leonardo may be wrong, but that is still no reason for an official Milan player to behave like this. And worst still the management should have the balls to punish him. They let him go scott free after the CL incident earlier this year. It's not the stupid acts that matter, it's the harm it does to the club that should be the cause for concern.

Thanks for bringing this to attention, X-Off. Never would have noticed this myself. O Paolo, where art thou?!

[Fillipo Simone]

I think you're overreacting and also look at our history way to idealistic. Baresi, Desailly, Gullit, Savicevic and many others weren't angels also.

[acid911]

Yeah, maybe Paolo spoiled me in this regard. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) For me there is only one captain, Ambrosini, whatever a player he is at the time of this writing. Besides, most of the players you mentioned were not captains, anyway. But my point is that even I don't call inter merda. And secondly, most fans like to point fingers at other clubs (Barca, Madrid and others), but good behavior from their own club and players should be first and foremost. The term "classy" should be earned.

Little did Gattuso gained after pulling this stunt with those ultra basturds. That remains a fact.

[Zed.D]

Rino has been acting too classy recently... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I hope those Russians buy him ASAP before he disgraces us any more than he already has.

And acid, Ambro isn't that classy either. remember the "stick the Scudetto up your ****" placard he was carrying in the CL 2007 celebrations?! but yeah, he's far better than Rino.

Once upon a time Maldini. *sigh*

inter = merda, he was merely stating a fact... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

no one's going to comment on this?

"It’s normal, because it has been a long time since they’ve had such a party.”

Moratti's such a sly b_____d... he forgets Inter had not won the scudetto for 19 years... and when they finally won it, it was because they had brought everyone else down...

he's sh** and they are sh**!! I'm glad for what Gattuso did!

That's probably a response to Berlusconi some weeks ago saying that we let Inter win for some time because we felt sorry for them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Honestly, I couldn't care less about Inter and a so-called disgrace. It's a celebration, let them do what they want for one night. Sure they aren't classy as Maldini, but who really is?

What bothers me more is the general behavior of the Allegri Milan. I don't in particular like the mentality of the team, an the fact that players like Ibra, Gattuso, van Bommel and even Boateng start to dominate.

[X-Offender]

What do you mean dominate? Also, Van Bommel hasn't done anything wrong so far and Boateng's mentality is one of the most important things we've lacked in the last 3-4 years.

[Fillipo Simone]

What do you mean dominate? Also, Van Bommel hasn't done anything wrong so far and Boateng's mentality is one of the most important things we've lacked in the last 3-4 years.

Indeed, I'm still ambivalent about both.

I disliked some of Boatengs hotheaded reactions. His behavior on the pitch is very similar to Gattuso - he's dying for the club, but you always feel he's on the verge of explosion. But he's young, it isn't that important.

More important is Ibrahimovic, and Gattuso. Van Bommel hasn't done anything, but he conceded us 2 unnecessary red cards that came only because of his bad reputation. His reputation follows him, and an aura is being build around Milan. Soon we'll have another hothead in Mexes. That's what makes me worry.

[Jack Sparrow]

Mexes does worry me. He's bipolar on the pitch.

[Fillipo Simone]

Apparently Leonardo has been in talks for PSG. It'd be good for him, he was great back then with PSG as a player. I just hope he won't join Marseille the next year.

His Inter thing was a stupid slip-up. At the end, Leonardo didn't got anything other then the Coppa trophy, but at the same time alienated more then a bunch of fans.

?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) I don't think Inter want to let him go. And why would he want to leave?
