Chelsea defender David Luiz has played down his training ground bust-up with Gonzalo Higuain before last night's Europa League final triumph.

In the last session before the game, Luiz was filmed clearly elbowing Higuain.

After defeating Arsenal, Luiz admitted the clash was to blame for manager Maurizio Sarri's own meltdown - which cameras also caught.

He said, "It's normal, we worked, we talked and Maurizio left excited. On the field, we already hugged and no one watched that video (laughs).

"Higuain, he's a great friend, nothing happened."

Luiz also insists at 32 there's more to come from him, he told RMC: "I'm young (laughs). It's a club that I really like, which gave me an opportunity as soon as I arrived from Portugal. I try to work well, give the best for my team and I still have legs to show a lot."
