This bizarre moment was perfectly captured on film
Carlo Ancelotti's men fired three past Almeria this evening to keep in touch with the La Liga leaders, with an own-goal from Mauro Dos Santos sandwiched between strikes from James Rodriguez and Alvaro Arbeloa.
However, with the score still tied at 0-0, a bizarre incident involving Rodriguez and team-mate Fabio Coentrao occurred on the touchline as the ball bounced out of play for a Real throw-in.
Both players were obviously in a hurry to get proceedings underway, and were captured restarting the match in perfect harmony.
Fortunately for Almeria, the incident was spotted straight away, depriving Cristiano Ronaldo et al from launching two separate and potentially terrifying attacks.
