Feyenoord teammates Sem Steijn and Ruzie Hadj Moussa were involved in a heated argument following the club's defeat, according to De Telegraaf. The dispute between the two players drew the attention of coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst, who had to step in to settle matters. The reports follow Feyenoord's loss in Seville.
De Telegraaf's coverage centres on what happened after the match in Spain and how the confrontation unfolded. Other Dutch outlets, including NU, AD.nl, Rijnmond and Voetbalzone, also reported the incident, with several noting that teammates had to intervene. According to those reports, the argument did not end on the pitch and continued inside.
Van Bronckhorst, quoted in the coverage, acknowledged the altercation and indicated that it carried on indoors. The coach was also left to reflect on a match his side lost on fine margins, according to Rijnmond.
The club has not been reported as announcing any disciplinary measures, and the material available does not specify what the argument was about. Both players remain part of the first-team squad.
What to watch next: whether Feyenoord or Van Bronckhorst comment further on the incident, and how the two players are handled in the matches that follow.
