Simone Inzaghi has insisted Nicolo Barella and Romelu Lukaku's on-field spat on Monday is now water under the bridge as Inter Milan prepare for the biggest week of their season so far.

Barella and Lukaku were picked up by the television cameras shouting and gesturing at each other, with the on-loan Chelsea forward telling the Italy international 'f*** you, son of a b***h'.

Inter drew the game 0-0, though Inzaghi insisted afterwards that the issues had been resolved and were not part of a deeper rift permeating their relationship or indeed the wider squad.
