Former Barcelona star Thierry Henry said of the incident: "You could see it clearly. As you guys say here, thank God he didn’t connect with the leg of Leo.
"That would have been really bad, if he had.
“As long as they keep it on social media, and don’t do anything on the field, no-one went to anyone’s faces, they let the game decide what was going to happen.
“When you do a tackle like that, you’re going to leave the field.
“At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter.
“They play well in the national team together.
“Listen, you don’t have to be friends to play with someone, but you don’t have to be friends if you play for Barca and Real Madrid.”
