Inter was in the seventh heaven after reaching the semi-finals of the Italian Cup and winning the Derby Della Madoninna, and then a huge disappointment followed in Genova. An easy three points were expected, since Sampdoria is a modest team, without much chance of survival, and yet they somehow managed to earn a goalless draw against mighty Inter. And for Nerrazzuri, this means that Napoli is now 15 points away and the way the Neapolitans are playing, the Serie A title is theirs to lose. On top of that, the visiting fans witnessed a public conflict between Romelu Lukaku and Nicolo Barella. Aria arcobaleno in casa Inter.Lukaku chiama figlio di puttana Barella. Tutto sotto controllo. pic.twitter.com/FJGFADMaLR— Il Fratello di Zielu (@zielulife2) February 13, 2023 Towards the end of the first half of the away game at the “Luigi Ferraris” stadium, the strong striker and midfielder entered into a clinch, which was not missed by the television cameras, and is such that it cannot be ignored. After a misplaced pass, Barella waived with his hands in frustration, as he sometimes does, even thou he was advised not to do it. But this time, Lukaku was not in the mood to tolerate it. The Belgian international was caught on camera very clearly shouting at Barella and waving a finger at him.“Don’t do that, enough with these arms! Do not do that! It’s not good, it’s insulting, now stop!” he shouted. And Barella must’ve said something in response, because the clip ended with Lukaku saying: “**** you, son of a bitch!”##NAJAVA_MECA_7023743##Apart from not taking all three points against all but a relegated club (even thou Inter had 25 shots on goal, but only five of on target), coach Simone Inzaghi also had to comment on the incident between his players.“These things happen on the pitch, they shouldn’t happen and I don’t like to see them, but they were sat together during the break and are great friends. Obviously, these are incidents I don’t want to see” said Inter’s tactician. Instead of insulting each other on the pitch, Lukaku and Barella should focus on their performances, since Milan, Roma and Atalanta are now only three points away from Inter.
