The North London side won the first leg 3-0 and were maintaining their lead in the second leg in Spain.<\/p>\n

And Bellingham<\/a> could not hold his temper in during the match as he clashed with Rice.<\/p>\n

The midfielders were caught in a tangle as they jostled for the ball by the halfway line.<\/p>\n

After the ball went out of play, Bellingham squared up to Rice<\/a> before officials ran over to intervene.<\/p>\n

The former Borussia Dortmund<\/a> man did back off after the arrival of Rice’s team-mates Bukayo Saka<\/a> and Jurrien Timber.<\/p>\n

Tensions were already high in the Spanish capital with the home fans praying for a famous comeback victory.<\/p>\n

This was also seen during half-time as Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal was seen clashing with Saka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard grabbed the back of the Arsenal<\/a> star’s neck as he walked down the tunnel.<\/p>\n

This caused Saka to react angrily to the attempted goading.<\/p>\n

They were eventually separated after Carvajal put his finger in Saka’s face.<\/p>\n

Crocked Real Madrid star Dani Carvajal pulled away from Bukayo Saka after confronting Arsenal star at half-time<\/p>\n

That moment came after Saka had missed a penalty in the first half to put Arsenal out of sight.<\/p>\n

The Gunners were handed a boost after the miss as VAR<\/a> overturned a Real Madrid<\/a> penalty after it was judged that Declan Rice had not fouled Kylian Mbappe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Uefa<\/a> then confirmed the call with a brief statement.<\/p>\n

They said: “The penalty for Real Madrid has been taken away due to a non-foul by Declan Rice<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Saka made amends for his missed penalty as he scored a great goal in the 64th minute.<\/p>\n

However, Vinicius Jr levelled the game on the night just minutes later.<\/p>\n

But hopes of a comeback were put to bed as Gabriel Martinelli<\/a> scored a winning goal in the 93rd minute<\/a>.<\/p>\n
