Castrogiovanni tells all about partying in Vegas with Ibrahimovic

Sacked by his club for going to Las Vegas with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Martin Castrogiovanni was a cult figure to rugby fans all over the world.

What made tit such a serious matter is that the propi allegedly told Racing management that he was in Argentina seeing to a “family health problem” and could therefore not travel with rest of the Racing squad for their Champions Cup semi-final match.

He was ultimately sacked, and with that he disappeared from the rugby world.

However, Castro is back, and he’s done a brilliant interview with Nik Simon from the Mail Online.

‘It was a good trip, a beautiful trip,’ he laughs. ‘Three days. I met those guys when I was playing in Paris (Ibrahimovic was with Paris Saint-Germain) and we became friends. When they won, they invited me to Vegas and I said, “Yes”. Who would say no?

‘We had a good time. A lot of drinks? Yes. We went out? Yes. Play the casino? Yes. Pool party? Yes. Everyone has seen the photos. When I woke up, I had a thousand messages with all the photos.

‘What else do you do in Vegas? I won maybe £500, but I lost my contract with Racing. Maybe I should have handled it differently with my club, but I would do it again.’
