Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzano stopped play for some 10 minutes while the individual received treatment, shielded from view by huddled players and staff members, as well as a large white sheet.

The person was stretchered away from the bench at the Johan Cruyff Arena to applause from spectators and players alike, before the match resumed.
