Brazilian wonderkid Endrick was involved in an off-the-ball clash with Spain’s Marc Cucurella, sparking a touchline row involving Vinicius Jnr.
The two nations played out a thrilling, yet ill-tempered, 3-3 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night.
Endrick, 17, who scored his first international goal against England on Saturday, also netted against Spain – at the home of Real Madrid who he will join this summer.
He also showed his combative side during a clash with Chelsea full-back Cucurella in the 78th minute of the game.
Viral footage from the game shows Cucurella blocking Endrick’s run, before the Brazilian swung his arms towards the Spaniard and then showed his immaturity by kicking out at him twice.

The tackle on Cucurella sparked a touchline row involving Brazilian star Vinicius Jnr, with Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal appearing to attempt to calm him down
The second throw of the boot sent Cucurella tumbling to the ground and clutching onto his leg in pain.
It left Spain’s bench furious with Endrick, as they rushed up to protest and complain that the teenager should receive a card.
Vinicius, who had been replaced not long before, was pictured raging at the Spanish bench, wagging his finger as Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal appeared to try and calm him down.
Fans made light of the incident, with one suggesting that he was let off a red card on his debut at the Bernabeu – with Endrick just receiving a yellow.
Another joked: ‘He gets a kick, you get a kick, everyone gets a kick!’
While another commented: ‘Petulant, stupid and completely unneccessary.’
It wasn’t the only time that tempers flared during the game, with Vinicius before he was replaced, walking up to Aymeric Laporte and shoving him in the back with his elbow.
One fan on X (formerly Twitter) appeared to repost a video of the Brazil forward barging into the back of Laporte, writing ‘I just want to play football’ with several ‘crying face emojis’.

Laporte subsequently responded to the post, writing in Spanish: ‘Maybe he just wanted to dance?’
He also furiously confronted Alvaro Morata who was stood in the home side’s technical area.
The Brazilian winger had to be dragged away by his team-mates as he continued to remonstrate with Morata.
Spain thought they had won the match with an 87th minute penalty by Rodri, before Lucas Paqueta netted one of his own in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
