đŸ”„ Drama After El ClĂĄsico: Real Madrid Players “Went Too Far” With Yamal as Frenkie de Jong and Raphinha Defend the Teen Star

The latest El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona ended not just with a 2–1 victory for Los Blancos, but also with chaos and controversy that extended well beyond the final whistle. What should have been a night of great football turned into a storm of emotion, sparked by an 18-year-old named Lamine Yamal — the young Barcelona sensation who has once again found himself in the middle of Spain’s most heated rivalry.

Tension Boils Over at the Bernabéu

Real Madrid’s hard-fought 2–1 win over Barcelona might have looked like a statement performance, but tempers exploded as soon as the match ended. Reports say several Madrid players — including Dani Carvajal, Vinícius Jr., and Eduardo Camavinga — surrounded Yamal, shouting and making gestures toward him. The young winger, who had already faced constant jeers from the crowd, tried to walk away before being pulled into a heated scene.

Carvajal’s mocking gesture — apparently telling Yamal to “talk now” — ignited a brief on-pitch confrontation that quickly spread to other players and coaching staff. Security had to step in to separate the sides. Frenkie de Jong, serving as Barcelona’s captain, didn’t stay silent afterward, calling the Real Madrid players’ behavior “too much” and urging more respect for the teenager.

Yamal’s Pre-Clásico Comments Come Back to Haunt Him

This post-match chaos didn’t come from nowhere. In the days leading up to El Clásico, Yamal had made playful but provocative remarks on Twitch, joking that Real Madrid “complains too much about referees” and teasingly saying “Barça wins because we don’t cry.” The Madrid locker room took note, especially veteran defender Carvajal, who promised before kickoff that “respect is earned on the field.” When Madrid took the win, Carvajal’s gesture seemed like payback.

Still, after the match, De Jong was quick to defend his young teammate:

“If Carvajal wanted to talk, he could’ve done it privately. Lamine never said Madrid cheats — that’s just been exaggerated. What they did was over the top.”

Barcelona’s assistant coach, Marcus Sorg, agreed, admitting that the young star was shaken by the atmosphere and constant provocation.

Raphinha’s Perspective: “He’s Just Young”

Raphinha, who missed the match through injury, also stepped in to support Yamal. The Brazilian winger, known for his leadership and honesty, later said that Yamal’s mistake was simply one of youth and emotion. “He was guilty of being young,” Raphinha admitted. “His words gave Madrid extra motivation, but he didn’t mean any harm.”

It’s clear that even within the Barcelona camp, there’s awareness that the rivalry’s intensity can sometimes spill too far — especially for younger players who grew up watching these fiery matchups.

Madrid’s Focus Turns to Europe

While the emotional dust settles, Real Madrid now turns its focus to their next big challenge — a Champions League clash against Liverpool at Anfield. Sitting five points clear at the top of La Liga, Xabi Alonso’s men have regained confidence and momentum heading into November’s schedule.
