New footage has emerged of Vinicius Junior's heated exchange with Marcos Llorente and Koke during Sunday's eventful Madrid derby.
A late strike from Angel Correa helped Atletico snatch a 1-1 draw but the biggest talking point came midway through the second-half, when objects were thrown at Los Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
As a result, both teams were made to leave the Metropolitano pitch and the match was temporarily suspended.

Away from those unsavoury scenes and another big talking point was a heated clash between Koke and Vinicius Junior, who went down following a challenge from Robin Le Normand.
Koke was unhappy with the Brazilian's theatrics and approached him to complain about his fall.
Moments later, Vinicius aimed a not-so-subtle insult towards the Spaniard. According to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, he said: "I have two Champions Leagues, you have nothing."

Atletico defender Jose Gimenez tried his best to make peace but Vinicius continued to make his point. "Yes, two, you nothing."
It didn't stop there. Real Madrid's number seven was also spotted having words with Marcos Llorente.
“He can't talk to me," Vinicius said via Planeta Real Madrid. "You talk to people, so they applaud you. Talk to him, pathetic. That's why you're here, to play. Because you need to be here to play."
Llorente simply replied: “I don't care."

After the final whistle, Koke gave his take on the game being suspended temporarily rather than the on-field incident with Vinicius.
“It was a tense moment," he said. "But, this can’t happen on a football pitch. We are professionals and we have to know where we are and be smart, but the other incidents can’t happen."
He added: “Players have to be smart. The protocol said if the incident was repeated, the match would be over.”

Atletico Madrid released a statement in the early hours of Monday saying they have identified one of the fans who hurled objects onto the pitch.
“Atletico de Madrid wishes to express their rejection of the throwing of objects from a section of the south stand in the 68th minute of the match against Real Madrid," the statement read.
"The club’s security department has been working together with the police to locate those involved, one of whom has already been identified," the club said in a statement.

“The club will apply the internal regime foreseen for very serious cases to the people involved in this incident. These attitudes have no place in football and tarnish the image of a stadium that has experienced a spectacular atmosphere with more than 70,000 spectators in the stands, the vast majority of whom have shown exemplary behaviour.”
