Napoli defender Juan Jesus insists there's no issues with Inter Milan veteran Francesco Acerbi after yesterday's 1-1 draw.

The pair clashed with claims of a racist slur aimed at the Brazilian.

But Juan Jesus later said: "What happens on the pitch stays there.

"Acerbi went a little further with his words but apologised, he's a good guy. We're great and we resolve these things on the pitch, when the referee blows the whistle it's all over. He's telling us everything on the pitch, but he realized he went too far and apologized.

"I hope it doesn't happen again because he's an intelligent boy."

Acerbi has been dropped from the Italy squad amid the claims today.
