The broadcast camera captured a suffocating scene: Pepe pushed away the approaching Busquets, Cristiano Ronaldo and Pique were shoving each other, and Mascherano was holding onto Chen Zhong's jersey tightly, seemingly afraid that Chen Zhong would go up and take down Alves.
The whole stadium erupted instantly, the fans' roars almost threatening to push the entire place down and rebuild it.
Chen Zhong realized something was amiss. He quickly took a deep breath to calm his emotions, then pulled his jersey free from Mascherano's grip. He first blocked between Pepe and Busquets and then shouted loudly, "Calm down! Everyone stay calm!"
At this moment, Kaka also recovered, indicating he wasn't seriously hurt, and only then did the conflict subside, although tempers had risen between both teams.
"Real Madrid's free kick!"
"The referee hasn't issued a card!"
"At least a yellow card for Alves just now, right?"
"Alonso is taking this free kick!"
