A history of training ground bust-ups between teammates

The row between Sergio Ramos and Sergio Reguilon during Real Madrid's training on Monday was just one of the many that have occurred over the years between teammates.
Some of these cooled down relatively quickly, but others led to the intervention of other colleagues to relieve the tension.
Here you can find some of the most notorious arguments that have taken place at training during the last couple of decades.
Nelson Semedo's challenge against Neymar frustrated the Brazilian, who exploded against his teammate.
After the intervention of Sergio Busquets and Javier Mascherano, the current Paris Saint-Germain forward stormed out the session after ripping off his training kit.
A teammate threw the ball towards Dani Carvajal's face and the Spaniard, enraged by his colleagues' action, kicked it back towards Lucas Vazquez and Marco Asensio.
During Los Blancos' 2006 pre-season, Thomas Gravesen's challenge on Robinho resulted in the latter throwing a punch at the Danish midfielder.
Gravesen responded and the two players were quickly separated by their teammates.
A hard challenge by Vicente Rodriguez on Carles Puyol led to a heated argument in a Spain training session in 2005.
The dispute quickly turned physical, before their La Roja colleagues intervened to set them apart.
A hard tackle by Javier Mascherano on his teammate Marcelinho Carioca led to a revenge challenge towards the Argentine by the latter.
Furious by the incident, the former Barcelona player left Corinthians training to head to the changing room.
A collision between Jerome Boateng and Robert Lewandowski almost led to a fight, before the two players were separated by their colleagues and expelled from the session by Pep Guardiola.
A broken rib was the result of a fight between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Oguchi Onyewu during Milan training.
Later, the striker claimed that without their teammates' intervention they would have killed each other.
After several collisions between each other, Juan Carlos smacked Javi Chica on the back of the neck during Real Betis training in 2013.
After several hard Bruno Martins Indi challenges to Arjen Robben, the Bayern Munich forward responded by kicking his teammate during a 2014 World Cup training session.
A physical dispute between Carlos Tevez and Marquinhos, while at Corinthians, led to both departing the training ground in blood.
Juan Manuel Insaurralde exchanged blows with Jonathan Silva in the midst of a training session.
Their coach, Guillermo Barros, was angry at the players' misbehaviour and sent both to the changing room.
