Inter Milan took on Sampdoria in Serie A on Sunday but there was more than a sprinkle of added spice to the clash as former team-mates Maxi Lopez and Mauro Icardi faced off.

The pre-match handshake saw Lopez blank his young compatriot but Icardi had the last laugh as he scored twice in a 4-0 win for the visiting Nerazzurri.
Lopez has clearly taken the break-up hard and the fact that the new couple (who are now engaged) seem to spend most of their days posting selfies on Instagram can’t help.
