Real star's 'nipple twist' steals the spotlight after enthralling victory

A Real Madrid star's nipple twist on an opposition player during a thrilling eight-goal encounter has now stolen the spotlight following his side's semi-final triumph.  

Antonio Rudiger found the back of the net in the 20th minute to level matters to cancel out Mario Hermoso's 6th minute opener for Atletico Madrid in the semi-final of the Spanish Supercup.

Ferland Mendy then handed Los Blancos a 2-1 lead after 29 minutes before Antoine Griezmann brought the game back to level terms just eight minutes later.  

The two-all scoreline lasted well into the second half, but that quickly changed when Real keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga failed to latch onto a ball crossed into the box, knocking it against a helpless Rudiger before it bounced over the goal line.  

The Colchoneros' lead was, however, once more eradicated courtesy of a strike by Dani Carvajal that took the game to extra time in which Joselu and Brahim Diaz found the back of the net to hand Los Merengues a 5-3 victory and a place in the final of the competition.  

While Atletico were on the wrong end of the result, one of its stars, Morata, was on the receiving end of what looked to be an unsavoury twist of the nipple.  

The striker seemed shocked and angered by the defender's antics, pushing him away and bringing an end to what turned out to be a briefly nutty altercation.  

The incident was captured by cameras but went unnoticed by the referee and consequently, no action was taken against the German defender by the officials.
