Brazilian wonderkid Endrick was involved in an off-ball clash with Spaniard Marc Cucurella, leading to a touchline brawl involving Vinicius Jnr.

The two nations played out an exciting, if moody, 3-3 draw at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday night.

Endrick, 17, who scored his first international goal against England on Saturday, also scored against Spain, at the home of Real Madrid, whom he will join this summer.

He also showed his combative side during a clash with Chelsea full-back Cucurella in the 78th minute of the match.

Viral footage from the match shows Cucurella blocking Endrick’s run, before the Brazilian swung his arms at the Spaniard and then showed his immaturity by kicking him twice.

The second throw of the boot caused Cucurella to fall to the ground and clutch his leg in pain.

This left the Spain bench furious with Endrick, as they were quick to protest and complain that the teenager should receive a card.

Vinicius, who had been substituted shortly before, was photographed furious on the Spanish bench, wagging his finger while Spaniard Mikel Oyarzabal appeared to try to calm him down.

Fans made light of the incident, with one suggesting he received a red card on his debut at the Bernabeu, and Endrick has just received a yellow card.

Another joked: ‘He gets a kick, you get a kick, everyone gets a kick!’

While another commented: ‘Smug, stupid and completely unnecessary.’

It was not the only time that tempers flared during the match: Vinicius, before being replaced, approached Aymeric Laporte and elbowed him in the back.

A fan on X (formerly Twitter) appeared to repost a video of the Brazilian striker storming into Laporte’s back, writing “I just want to play football” with several “crying face emojis.”

Laporte later responded to the post by writing in Spanish: “Maybe I just wanted to dance?”

He also furiously confronted Álvaro Morata, who was in the local technical area.

The Brazilian winger had to be dragged by his teammates while he continued protesting Morata.

Spain thought they had won the game with a Rodri penalty in the 87th minute, before Lucas Paquetá scored one of his own in the sixth minute of added time.
