Tempers were running high in the ongoing clash between Inter Miami and Al Nassr. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi not clashing, the other players took it upon themselves to establish a massive rivalry. With Al Nassr taking Inter Miami to the cleaners within the first half, it seems like thee latter’s Sergio Busquets lost his calm during the final minutes of the first 45. The Barcelona icon got into a heated altercation with Al Nassr’s Nawaf Boushal, before allegedly punching him in frustration.

It is said that the fight broke out after Al Nassr’s Boushal attempted a deadly tackle against Inter Miami’s Yedlin. They quickly tangled with each other as their teammates barged in to separate them and end the chaos. In the video, Busquets had lost his calm as he attempted to throw a punch at Boushal.

However, the referee rushed into the fray before dishing out yellow cards to both players. The referee was not pleased with either side as she booked both Busquets and Boushal for the situation.
