Arsenal, the North London team, had won the first game 3-0 and were leading in the second game in Spain.

Bellingham seemed to lose his cool and clashed with Rice during the match.

The two midfielders got tangled up while competing for the ball near the midfield line.

After the ball went out of bounds, Bellingham confronted Rice before referees stepped in.

Bellingham backed down when Rice`s teammates Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber came over.

The atmosphere in Madrid was already tense as home fans hoped for a comeback victory.

This tension was also evident at halftime when Real Madrid`s defender Dani Carvajal clashed with Saka.

Carvajal grabbed Saka by the neck as he headed into the tunnel.

This caused Saka to react angrily to what he felt was provocation.

They were separated after Carvajal pointed his finger in Saka`s face.

This incident happened after Saka missed a penalty in the first half that could have extended Arsenal`s lead.

Arsenal received a favorable decision when VAR overturned a penalty for Real Madrid, ruling that Declan Rice had not fouled Kylian Mbappe.

UEFA confirmed the VAR decision with a brief statement.

They stated: "The penalty for Real Madrid was reversed due to no foul by Declan Rice."

Saka compensated for his missed penalty by scoring a brilliant goal in the 64th minute.

However, Vinicius Jr equalized for Real Madrid shortly after.

Gabriel Martinelli then secured the win for Arsenal with a goal in the 93rd minute.
