Carvajal Confronts Lamine Yamal Over His Pre-Match Comments

The Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona ended with a 2-1 victory for Los Blancos, but the tension carried on after the final whistle. Dani Carvajal approached Lamine Yamal and made a hand gesture implying that the youngster “talks too much.” The moment quickly escalated, drawing in players from both sides and creating a heated scuffle on the pitch.

The Real Madrid captain was reportedly reacting to Lamine Yamal’s comments before the match. Just a day before the game, the Barcelona star posted a photo on social media celebrating a goal from last season’s 4-0 win over Madrid, with jeers from the home fans in the background. In addition, during an interview with the Kings League, the 17-year-old provocatively claimed that “Real Madrid steals,” a statement that angered many within the Madrid locker room.

After the final whistle, Carvajal approached the young forward to confront him directly. His “keep quiet” gesture was enough to ignite a wave of reactions. Thibaut Courtois and Vinícius Junior soon joined the confrontation, while several Barcelona players rushed in to defend their teammate, resulting in a tense scene between both squads.

Vinícius Escalates the Situation Between Both Benches

Just when it seemed things were calming down, Vinícius Junior reignited the altercation by shouting at Lamine Yamal from a distance. His outburst sparked another flare-up between the benches, with unregistered players like Antonio Rüdiger, David Alaba, and Raphinha also getting involved.

Both coaching staffs — Xabi Alonso’s for Real Madrid and Marcus Sorg’s for Barcelona, who was replacing the suspended Hansi Flick — stepped in to separate the players and restore order before the situation escalated further.

The heated post-match exchange served as a reminder that the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona remains as fierce as ever. While the victory went to Los Blancos, Carvajal’s gesture toward Lamine Yamal and the ensuing confrontation promise to add even more fuel to the fire ahead of their next Clásico encounter.
