A scandal erupted during the third round Champions League clash between Madrid's Real and Turin's Juventus.
Details: In the second half, Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Díaz launched a reckless challenge on Khéphren Thuram, going in studs up and catching his opponent directly on the leg.
The incident looked extremely dangerous—many Juve players immediately rushed toward the referee, demanding a red card for the offender, but the official opted for just a verbal warning.
Reminder: Thibaut Courtois climbed to fourth place among goalkeepers for most appearances with Real Madrid.
