Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left Toni Kroos needing stitches after extraordinary bust-up

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos has revealed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left him needing stitches after a tackle in Sunday's El Clasico.

The former Arsenal striker scored twice and added an assist in a sensational 4-0 win for Barcelona, continuing his impressive goalscoring start for his new club. The goalscoring exploits sent Arsenal fan Piers Morgan into a Twitter meltdown, but the broadcaster wasn't the only one left reeling after the display.

Kroos only managed 45 minutes at the Bernabeu, leaving the field at the break to be replaced by Camavinga, and the German has revealed Aubameyang was to blame. It's not the first time the pair have faced off, though, with an off-field row between them dating back a number of years.
