Hakan Calhanoglu REFUSED to shake hands with his former teammate Theo Hernandez before kick-off of the Derby della Madonnina. Check it out below:
Calhanoglu, who left AC Milan to join Inter Milan in 2021, started in his side's 3-2 defeat on Saturday.
The clash between Milan and Inter was explosive on and off the pitch as Stefano Pioli's team came from one goal down to beat their cross-town rivals.

The game burst into life when Marcelo Brozovic gave Inter the lead.
But Rafael Leao cancelled out his goal, with Olivier Giroud putting Milan in the lead in the second half.
Leao bagged another goal on the hour mark, with Edin Dzeko reducing the deficit.
But the derby got off to a lively start before a ball was even kicked as Calhanoglu and Hernandez clashed in the pre-match handshake.

The Turkish international completely blanked the Frenchman, who appeared to slap his ex-club colleague's head as he walked past.
The pair then exchanged some words before starting the game.
Calhanoglu and Hernandez were teammates at Milan for two years.
But it seems they don't see eye-to-eye nowadays.

The feud between Calhanoglu and Hernandez appears to stem from the Milan defender encouraging chants during their Scudetto parade last season.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic took aim at Calhanoglu, who hit back in ruthless fashion.
