It has been reported that 'Monkey chants' were heard at the San Siro during the second leg of a Europa League last-16 tie during which an inflatable banana was seen in the crowd.
Emmanuel Adebayor seemed to be the particular target of the racist abuse but had the last laugh, prodding home in extra-time with the game finishing 4-1 on the night and putting Tottenham through on away goals after the tie finished 4-4 on aggregate.
It may be added that Inter have been reprimanded for their supporters' behaviour only recently. Last month they were fined £43,000 by Italian league chiefs after their fans abused AC Milan duo Mario Balotelli and Sulley Muntari, with reports of inflatable bananas accompanying monkey chants.
Inter were also fined £12,900 for racist chants about former Manchester City striker Balotelli earlier that month in a 3-1 win against Chievo.
Tottenham have yet to confirm whether an official complaint will be made, but Uefa, who declined to comment on the matter, might be expected to act having done so against another Italian club earlier in the Europa League.
