DTotD: Arbeloa steps on David Villa, drags him to his feet
Before Shakira's nerves were completely shredded, Ronaldo scored that lovely header and Sergio Ramos dropped the Copa del Rey trophy under a bus, the evening almost descended in a mass brawl when Alvaro Arbeloa stepped on David Villa's leg in the first half. Though it seemed deliberate, Villa embellished his reaction and Arbeloa did not appreciate that. So, as Villa writhed, Alvaro and the trophy killer grabbed him by the arms in unison and lifted him to his feet.
David Villa took exception to the interruption of his performance and the Barca bench rose up, but stopped short of attacking. The referee maintained order in that heated moment, though, and kept his cards in his pocket.
With two Champions League matches to go between these two sides, we might look back on this as one of the friendly times.
