Real Madrid youth player 'headbutted' as Alvaro Arbeloa's side attacked in street after match

A young Real Madrid star was 'headbutted' while walking back to the team bus after a match this weekend.

Iker Bravo, a forward for Los Blancos Juvenil A, was the victim of the incident which happened after their 4-2 win against Rayo Majadahonda on Sunday. The team is coached by former Liverpool player Alvaro Arbeloa.

Spanish news outlet Relevo reports that Bravo was called a 'clown' as he greeted someone he knew. A group of fans had waited for him and one person approached the player to headbutt him. Real Madrid staff stepped in at this point and luckily, Bravo did not suffer any serious injuries.

Despite the incident, the Spanish side won their away game thanks to two goals from Hugo de Llanos and one each from Mesonero and Paulo Iago. Real are currently second in their division under Arbeloa's leadership having won nine matches in a row.

Bravo started his youth career with Espluguenc before joining Barcelona and moving up through La Masia until he caught the attention of Bayer Leverkusen. The teenager joined the Bundesliga side in 2021 and was described as a 'really big talent' by sporting director Simon Rolfes when he signed.

The young Catalan footballer became Leverkusen's youngest ever player when he played his first game at 16 during the DFB Cup defeat against Karlsruher SC. He only played twice for the German team's first squad.

After just one season, Bravo went back to Spain as Real Madrid got the striker on loan with a chance to make the move permanent. The former Barcelona youth player is said to have cost a 6million (£5.1m) fee
