The captain of the French national team stopped in the 80th minute and asked his coach Alvaro Arbeloa to replace him before the end of the game, with no sign of injury or a knock.
With his face contorted in pain, he was replaced by young Spaniard Gonzalo Garcia (81st) before his team conceded the equalizer in stoppage time.
