Denzel Dumfries gleefully grabbed a banner from a fan and showed it off during Inter’s Scudetto celebrations, depicting Milan star Theo Hernandez as a dog on a leash.
The pair had an ugly clash during the Derby della Madonnina on Monday night, which saw both players sent off.
Dumfries was therefore suspended for today’s 2-0 win over Torino at San Siro, but joined his teammates for the open-top bus parade through the city streets.
He spotted a banner held aloft by fans and asked to have it handed to him, holding it gleefully over his head.
It depicted himself holding a dog by a leash that had the face of Theo Hernandez.
Dumfries had already hinted at this nickname, mentioning ‘the dog’ during their Scudetto celebration livestream on social media.
