A foul committed led to a Partizan player squaring up to his Real Madrid opponent, after which a brawl broke out between the two teams.
After a version of calm was restored, Real Madrid Castilla manager and club legend Raul Gonzalez was seen getting in the face of one of the Partizan players from his first row seat.

This is the second time in recent weeks that Real Madrid athletes have been involved in violent action, after Fede Valverde supposedly punched Alex Baena recently. Australian player Dante Exum, who plays for Partizan, left the stadium on crutches after the game after being thrown to the ground.
