Watch – Real Madrid midfield duo involved in heated exchange during Juventus clash | OneFootball

Real Madrid progressed to the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Juventus in Miami last night, thanks to a goal from Gonzalo early in the second half.

Xabi Alonso’s side continues to improve, with four matches now under the new coach, and most of the news from the Madrid camp is positive.

Gonzalo’s emergence, the team’s defensive solidity, Kylian Mbappe’s return after illness, and Real Madrid’s steady improvement with each game have all been encouraging signs.

However, there was one moment of concern during last night’s encounter.

Bellingham, Guler get into it

During the second half of the match, there was a tense altercation between Real Madrid duo Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham.

The Turkish and English players engaged in a heated exchange for several seconds, and the confrontation has quickly gone viral on social media.

In the footage, Guler and Bellingham can be seen arguing from a few metres apart, seemingly over positioning on the pitch.

After the exchange, the Turkish prodigy approached Bellingham to offer an explanation, but the Englishman appeared displeased with what was said and even raised his finger.

Aurelien Tchouameni, who was nearby, attempted to intervene between the two.

The argument did not escalate further and appears to be one of many that occur between players during high-stakes football matches. And both Guler and Bellingham will want to put it behind them and focus on helping Real Madrid win the Club World Cup.
