The incident was triggered when one player brought down the other during a training drill, leading to what sources describe as “one of the most intense confrontations ever witnessed at Valdebebas.”

The exchange quickly escalated as the pair confronted each other, shoving and arguing before continuing the dispute into the dressing room.

It follows another recent flashpoint between Antonio Rudiger and Alvaro Carreras, an incident Carreras himself has since acknowledged.
