“The Milan authorities recently communicated that it was a mistake by the police and that they realized it at the time." He shared on his Instagram story as quoted by 24hfootnews.

"To err is human, I have no problem with that. On the other hand, the way and the methodology used are problematic for me.

"I think it went further than it should have. Why didn’t they just do a proper check? By asking for the vehicle papers, by simply communicating.”

“On the video published on social networks, we do not see everything, specifies the midfielder. This is the quietest part of everything that could have happened.

"I found myself with the gun a meter away from me, on the passenger side window. They clearly put our lives in danger, regardless of their reasons for doing so. This is a mistake, knowing that there was no certainty about the suspects apprehended."
