The owner of a football club in Italy has controversially stated that he will get his players "sex workers" if they pick up big victories in the second half of the 2022/23 season.

AC Monza chief Silvio Berlusconi, who once owned AC Milan, made the off-colour remarks at a recent Christmas party ahead of the new year.
The minnows are competing in Italy's Serie A for the first time in this campaign, after winning their play-off matches in the previous season to secure promotion.
Monza are currently just nine points clear of the relegation zone, leading to Berlusconi offering his players a reward if they are able to take three points off the country's traditional top sides in a speech at a Christmas party.
"I told the guys, now you will play Milan, Juventus," he said, according to The Guardian.
"If you win against one of these top teams, I'll bring a bus of w***** [sex workers] into the locker room."
Berlusconi, who was also Italy's prime minister twice before, has been criticised for his remarks by a fellow Italian politician, Daniel Sbrollini, who referred to his comments as the "usual misogynist language" from the football chief.
