Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice faced off during Real Madrid`s crucial match against Arsenal.
The Real Madrid star appeared frustrated on the field as his team struggled to reduce Arsenal`s lead.
The North London team had won the first leg 3-0 and maintained their advantage in the second leg in Spain.
Bellingham lost his temper during the match and clashed with Rice.
The midfielders tangled as they fought for the ball near the halfway line.
After the ball went out of play, Bellingham confronted Rice before officials intervened.
The former Borussia Dortmund player backed down after Rice`s teammates Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber arrived.
Tensions were already high in the Spanish capital as home fans hoped for a significant comeback.
This was also evident at halftime when Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal clashed with Saka.
The Spaniard grabbed the back of the Arsenal player`s neck as he headed into the tunnel.
This caused Saka to react angrily to the provocation.
They were eventually separated after Carvajal put his finger in Saka`s face.
