“Shut up, dumb-ass”
That was followed by a “learn how to speak first, dickhead” and “shut up, dumb-ass”.
It was unclear what Kovacic said in return as the camera angle was pointed in the direction of his back. The quarrel between the two resulted from a foul by Carvajal on Neymar.
Referee Clos Gómez was in close proximity to the discussion but decided not to intervene. The game finished 1-1 after Sergio Ramos late header cancelled out Luis Suarez’s opener.
