Teams of famous Spanish and French faces went head-to-head at Atletico Madrid‘s Metropolitano Stadium last night, with the hosts winning 2-0.
However, racist abuse from a supporter has overshadowed the contest.
A fan is alleged to have made a monkey gesture towards professional gamer Brawks.
The Frenchman reacted furiously and jumped over the advertising board to confront the man.
Brawks picked him out in the crowd as the rest of his team-mates joined in to help security find him.
Influencer and rapper SDM had to be held back after trying to jump into the stands.
Meanwhile, Spanish YouTuber Koko DC is seen shouting at the supporters and demanding they stop with the vile abuse.
He later broke down in tears and was consoled by his fellow players and the referee.

France stars then decided to walk off the pitch, waiting by the dugout as the racist was escorted out the ground.
The referee, with the help of team captains Amine and DjMaRiiO, grabbed the stadium microphone and warned fans that any more racism would lead to the match being abandoned.
His speech was applauded and the action continued after a 17-minute delay.
On the shocking incident, Brawks said: “A Spaniard gave me the finger, I gave him a heart back. He then made a monkey gesture.
“I got angry, I asked him to make the monkey gesture again.
“He sat down, he acted like he had done nothing but he knew very well what he had done. His friends tried to cover for him.
“I love sport and the values it promotes – racism has no place in sport or in everyday life.
“A lot of players on the team really wanted to stop the match. I’m not going to lie, I was very disgusted, I had tears in my eyes. We saw Koko who was very sad, who couldn’t hold back his tears.”
Amine said: “As content creators, we are not saying we are going to play high-level football, we are here to produce things, set an example.
“What happened outside of sport tonight is unacceptable, we will always be here to fight that.
“I thank some Spanish players who were exemplary and came to me and said ‘we’re stopping the match with you’.”
The game was watched by 950,000 people online and half the 70,000-seater stadium was full.
