Cardinale wasn't in Saudi Arabia for the final, but sent a message to Ibrahimovic, who spoke to the players on his behalf.
"Congratulations on this extraordinary result. To win this trophy in a derby is special and something you must be profoundly proud of,” Cardinale told the team.
“It’s been a challenging season so far, but you must enjoy this moment and return to Italy with this boost to claim the place Milan belongs to in Serie A. I hug you, and I am with you at every moment.”
