Inter Milan chief Marco Branca played down last night's amazing scenes at Lazio.

The Biancocelesti supporters had urged their team to lose against Inter in order to ruin Roma's Scudetto chances.

When Walter Samuel and Thiago Motta scored in the 2-0 result, the entire stadium erupted in celebration.

"The supporters have been twinned for years. There is a certain rapport and fondness between them," insisted Branca.

"Clearly we were tired after Barcelona and there was a risk, but the lads did very well. Jose Mourinho and his staff always know what to do.

"For now we have not won anything yet, even though we are in the running for the Scudetto, Champions League and Coppa Italia. Let us not forget that.

"The first of those three fronts will be decided on Wednesday, so we must recuperate ahead of that Coppa Italia Final against Roma."
