There were barely two minutes on the clock before tempers flared between Real Madrid and Manchester City as Aymeric Laporte was left clutching his face on the floor.
Tensions were running high from the beginning at the Santiago Bernabeu given a place in the Champions League final is on the line. This led to a clash between the players before anything of note had even occurred in the game with Luka Modric at the centre of things.
The Croatian veteran was remonstrating with referee Daniele Orsato over a decision before Laporte shoved Modric in the chest in a bid to get him to leave the scene. Instead, the former Spurs midfielder stood his ground and opted to shove the French central defender back.
