The Real Madrid star was captured on camera delivering a slap to the back of the head of an opposition player who was on the bench. This moment of tension was part of the heightened emotions present at the end of a closely contested semi-final match.
Both Independent Sport and Yahoo Sports reported on the incident, highlighting the physical nature of the interaction. The reports confirm that the player involved was an Argentina substitute and that the incident took place as emotions ran high following England's departure from the tournament.
