David Luiz and Gonzalo Higuain rubbished any suggestions that the two were feuding in training ahead of the Europa League final by cosying up to each other during the celebrations.
Luiz and Higuain were caught on camera clashing in training, with Maurizio Sarri subsequently storming off and the South American pair being blamed for their manager’s anger.

It was later clarified that Sarri’s fume had nothing to do with the incident between his two players, but it appears as though even this was blown completely out of proportion.
Luiz and Higuain, who the media will tell you are foes following said incident, celebrated our Europa League triumph together in the dressing room, rubbishing rumours of a rift.
Yesterday they were fighting & today they are best mates. Just shows how the media only pick up on the negative things. Well done @DavidLuiz_4 & Higuain. Enjoy your victory. 🏆 #CFC pic.twitter.com/uFE3EfnT29

There’s a togetherness in the Chelsea dressing room which has proven to be the deciding factor for us in both the Premier League and the Europa League. It’s evident in this clip.
Two players with a competitive edge, who may overstep the mark at times, but at the end of the day they’re still brothers. This is what Chelsea’s all about.
