Both superstars are hoping they can help their teams win the Serie A title while putting an end to Juventus' dominance in almost a decade.
Lukaku did not only score in the match, but he also provided an assist for one of Martinez's goals as his rivalry with the 39-year-old heightens.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United advanced towards the flag after his goal shouting 'Dio, diooo', which translates to 'God' according to football journalist Emanuel Rosu.
Daily Mail reports that others have commented that the Belgian said 'Io' meaning 'I' - a comment claimed to have been aimed at Ibrahimovic following the pair's bust-up in the Coppa Italia last month.
Ibrahimovic has publicly described himself as 'God of Milan', having transformed the club's fortunes since returning from LA Galaxy last year. Last October, he tweeted:
"Milano never had a king, they have a GOD."
The duo needed their teammates to separate them before the altercation escalated into becoming a brawl while some unpleasant words flying all around the pitch.

Two goals by Lautaro Martenez as well as a sensational strike from impressive Romelu Lukaku were enough to hand the visitors all three points.
The game had all the pre-match razzmatazz which falls back to their earlier clash in the Coppa Italia which Inter won 2-1.
