Lautaro, who had played under Conte at Inter, was seen pointing at the Italian tactician and making a gesture as to say: ‘You are sh****** yourself,’ but the Napoli boss replied (via Daniele Mari): ‘Wrap your laughing gear around this,’ also making an unequivocal gesture.

Napoli were leading 2-1, but Hakan Calhanoglu had just scored a penalty kick goal to put Inter back into the game.

Conte and Lautaro already argued during the Italian tactician’s final season at the Stadio Meazza in 2020-21.

That time, Lautaro openly complained about a substitution and kicked a bottle on the touchline.

Conte didn’t take it well and hit back at the Argentine, telling him to shut up.

Inter players and staff members jokingly organised a boxing fight at Inter’s training ground a few days later to clear the air between the two.
