Real Madrid vs Barca is supposed to be heated. This game was no exception.
Reguilon found himself in an altercation with Luis Suarez. Suarez provoked the left back, who responded by saying:

The tackle itself was perfectly legal. Sergio Reguilon took a small beating, but he had no issues continuing the game.
