Mauro Icardi and Maxi Lopez feud continues as latter refuses to shake Inter Milan star's hand... and grabs his own crotch instead!

  • Inter Milan were defeated 2-1 by Torino in Serie A clash on Sunday night
  • Mauro Icardi, the Inter striker, and Torino's Lopez have an ongoing feud
  • Lopez refused Icardi's handshake and grabbed own crotch prior to kick off
  • The former Sampdoria team-mates had a soap opera-style falling out
  • The striker's ex-wife Wanda Nara, now married to Icardi, was in the stands
  • Lopez refused to shake his ex-pal's hand when they met in April 2014

Argentine footballer Maxi Lopez showed what he thinks of a rival player now married to his ex-wife ‒ by refusing his handshake and grabbing his crotch as he walked past him.

TV cameras captured the moment Torino striker Lopez made his rude gesture when he came face-to-face with fellow Argentine Mauro Icardi before kick-off in Sunday's Serie A match against Inter.

Maxi's ex-wife Wanda Nara, now married to Icardi, was in the stands with her three children by her first husband and the child with her new love.

The crotch grab incident was reminiscent of another Argentine player's reaction to booing Real Madrid fans ‒ the club's former star Angel di Maria when he was hauled off for Gareth Bale after a lacklustre performance in January last year.

The midfielder, now with Paris Saint-Germain, later apologised for causing any offence but insisted it was not done deliberately.

One-time friends and ex-Sampdoria team-mates Lopez and Icardi had a soap opera-style falling out over former model Wanda, who divorced her first husband after accusing him of cheating on her.

She married Inter striker Icardi, 23, in May 2014 shortly after the divorce was finalised.

The love triangle between the two players and pretty WAG Nara was exposed in November 2013 when it was revealed Icardi had made moves on his former friend's wife as their marriage fell apart.

Lopez refused to shake his ex-pal's hand when they met on the field in an April 2014 Serie A match between Sampdoria and Inter, leading the press to dub the game the 'Wanda derby.'

Things between them soured even more when last June Icardi tweeted a new arm tattoo of the three children Wanda had with Maxi Lopez with the message: 'I love these three little angels.'

Lopez, nicknamed El Rubio or The Blonde in his native Argentina, raged on Sky Sports: 'I can understand that being a public figure, he publishes photos.

'But I'm not comfortable with my kids being in those photos. The kids are my strength and they know I will do everything to protect them because they mean everything to me.'

Icardi branded his old pal ignorant after the latest incident between the pair.

He said: 'Unfortunately these things happen, it depends on the ignorance of certain people. I gave my hand, I am polite.'

Sunday's match ended in a 2-1 away victory for Torino with Inter captain Icardi netting the opener for his side from the penalty spot but finishing on the losing side.
