PSV midfielder Ismael Saibari confronted Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy on the pitch after the incident that became known as the “towel crisis,” in a scene that was captured on video.
The footage showed Saibari moving towards Mendy and speaking to him directly, as teammates quickly stepped in to calm the situation and avoid any further escalation.
The moment came after a brief exchange between the two players linked to a towel used during the match, which triggered visible tension and led to Saibari’s reaction.
The video also revealed that the confrontation was short, with both players eventually turning away as the match continued normally.
