Benfica's Jorge Jesus and Porto's Julen Lopetegui went to shake hands at the final whistle, but what started off with a friendly hug almost ended up in a brawl between the pair.

As they were embracing, Lopetegui spoke into his counterpart's ear, but the words must not have been particularly pleasing, with Jorge Jesus grabbing him by the arm and shouting at him.

Luckily the two were separated before the situation could escalate, but the rough exchange still continued for a while even from a distance, before the pair could be completely sedated.
