Hertha Berlin striker Krzysztof Piatek admits he left AC Milan due to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Piatek concedes he didn't feel he had a chance of a regular game at Milan.

The Poland international told Prawda Futbolu, “The reason for my departure was the arrival of Ibrahimovic. I couldn't imagine sitting on the bench for five or six games in a row.

“When Ibra starts a match, he only drops out due to injuries. In the first few games after his arrival, I didn't play a single minute.

“I was given an opportunity in the Coppa Italia, I scored and provided an assist. Despite that, I was right back on the bench straight away after.

“Perhaps I didn't have patience, but that was the decision I made at the time."
