Cristiano Ronaldo and Maurizio Sarri appeared to engage in a touchline spat during Juventus' International Champions Cup clash with Tottenham on Sunday, MySportDab reports.

The Portugal international was substituted moments after putting the Italian giants 2-1 ahead against Spurs, and it seems that this rubbed him up the wrong way.

footage, which is widely available on social media, shows Ronaldo walking off the pitch after his number is called and shaking hands with a Juventus coach.

He then walks past Sarri and utters something but fails to stop, leaving the Juventus boss standing on the touchline looking sheepish.

Some fans on social media believe Ronaldo was upset about being hooked so soon after scoring, despite the fact the match was just a friendly.

Arsenal Star Alex Iwobi has claimed he may be forced to leave the Gunners if they sign Wilfred Zaha from Crystal Palace, MySportDab reports.

The Gunners are keen to sign Zaha but have already seen Crystal Palace reject a £40m Bid as they demand a huge sum of £80m from any club.

If Arsenal do sign Zaha, this would limit Alex Iwobi's playing time at the Emirates and he has confirmed plans to leave if that happens.

“I am not one to chicken out,” the 23-year-old told The Sun.

“I have had it all over the years, being told I’m not good enough.

“So whenever the chance comes I always try and prove I should be starting. But it’s going to be difficult if Zaha comes. He will add more stress.

“Obviously my joy is to play football and not just sit out."

FIFA has announced a new rule which states that players will be invited to make victim statements at disciplinary hearings, MySportDab reports.

Stricter handling of discrimination allegations is a key theme of the redrafted FIFA disciplinary code which takes effect next week.

"Topics like racism and discrimination have been updated, putting FIFA at the forefront of the fight against this appalling attack on the fundamental human rights of individuals," soccer's world body said on Thursday in a statement.

The minimum ban for players or officials rises from five to10 games, and victims can soon be heard in person by FIFA judging panels.

'FIFA will not let down victims of racist abuse,' FIFA said, adding they 'may be invited by the respective judicial body to make an oral or written victim impact statement.'

'For a first offence, playing a match with a limited number of spectators and a fine of at least 20,000 Swiss francs ($20,000) shall be imposed on the association or club concerned,' FIFA said.

In recent seasons, FIFA and European soccer body UEFA have closed cases of alleged racist abuse for lack of evidence beyond testimony of the players involved.
