Paris Saint-Germain was fuming on Saturday after midfielder Thiago Motta was left with a fractured nose following a bust-up in the tunnel at the end of its French Ligue 1 clash with SC Bastia.
Images from surveillance cameras in the tunnel at the Parc des Princes, obtained by several local media outlets, appeared to show Bastia's Brazilian forward, Brandao, waiting for Motta to approach him before head-butting the Brazil-born Italy international.
A mass altercation then ensued and PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi told beIN Sports Motta's nose had been fractured in the incident.
