Sergio Ramos aggressively pushed a photographer after Paris Saint-Germain lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of 16 first leg.
Paris born Kingsley Coman repeated his 2020 final heroics against his former side, scoring the only goal of the game as the Bundesliga side drew first blood.
Kylian Mbappe, on as a substitute in the second half, had two goals disallowed in the second half for offside calls as PSG suffered a third successive defeat in all competitions.
After the loss to Bayern followed up defeats to Marseille and Monaco, PSG's players went over the club's ultras and apologised.
It was the first time Lionel Messi had greeted the most passionate section of supporters, while Neymar was also seen hopping over the advertising boards to come close with the group who have booed him before.

Ramos was also in the mix but the former Real Madrid captain has come under fire for an incident with a nearby photographer.
While PSG players applauded fans behind the goal, photographers got in the thick of it and tried to capture some money shots.
Ramos wasn't having it though. One in front of him irritated him and then another accidentally bumped into Ramos ever so slightly and the Spaniard was furious.

He reacted by shoving the photographer, who looked a little shook about what had just happened.
A security member intervened and then Ramos continued clapping. But typically his actions prompted a lot of reaction online amongst fans.
One wrote: "I mean, I get it, Ramos was probably frustrated that they lost despite him dropping a masterclass but that push was so unnecessary, I'm sorry. The photographer only wanted to take photos of Neymar and didn't mean any harm at all.
A second said: "I love Ramos but if I'm the photographer I would sue him for millions lol."

A third opined: "The photographer looks old, ramos shouldn't have done that."
A fourth stated: "Photographers just doing their job, Ramos should be punished for aggressive behavior here."
A fifth tweeted: "Massive fall from grace... Gone from winning everything with Real Madrid to fighting photographers at PSG."
PSG travel to the Allianz Arena for the second leg on 8 March but will first look to get back to winning ways in Ligue One against Lille on Sunday.
