England team-mates Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice were involved in a heated confrontation during Arsenal's Champions League win over Real Madrid on Wednesday night.

Rice had been the star of the show in last week's first leg, scoring two stunning free-kicks to hand Arsenal a 3-0 win and put them in complete control of the quarter-final tie heading into the return match at the Bernabeu.

He won his head-to-head battle against Bellingham at the Emirates, and got the better of the Real Madrid star again in Spain.
