Marseille forward Michy Batshuayi has played down an altercation with teammate Abdelaziz Barrada after his team's 1-0 win over Nantes on Sunday. French newspaper 20 Minutes claimed Batshuayi and Barrada exchanged blows at the Stade de la Beaujoire after the Ligue 1 encounter. Both players had to be separated by teammates and technical staff while a wall outside the OM changing room was reportedly damaged in the process. When asked about the incident, Batshuayi told 20minutes.fr: "It was nothing. "There was a misunderstanding regarding the last play of the game. Otherwise, nothing serious.'' Batshuayi and full-back Benjamin Mendy combined to waste a chance late in the game, which OM won thanks to Georges-Kevin Nkoudou's goal early in the second half. Sunday's victory was OM's second on the road this season and lifted them to 12th position in the standings. Despite the loss, Nantes are two places and one point clear of Marseille.
