The inside story of the Clásico brawl: Lamine Yamal met with Vinícius in the locker room, Dani Carvajal's rebuke...

All the previous quarrels to the Clásico – the controversial statements by Lamine Yamal, claiming that the Whites "steal", recalling the results of the 2024/25 season and assuming a Barça victory – came to light on the Santiago Bernabéu pitch once time was up and Real Madrid certified their victory (2-1) against Barça .

There had already been tension throughout the match, with the Real Madrid fans whistling at the Blaugrana number 10 every time he touched the ball and his exchange with Vinícius , who smashed the ball into his opponent with a powerful clearance after Lamine mishandled it. "Only back passes. Only back passes," the Brazilian told the Spanish international. However, it wasn't until the end that everything truly exploded, after a gesture from Dani Carvajal , his teammate on the Spanish national team but Real Madrid captain.

The right back, who played his first minutes in the Clásico since his injury replacing Fede Valverde in the 72nd minute, addressed the young FC Barcelona striker making the gesture of speaking with his hand , alluding to his words and telling him that if he spoke too much, he would have to accept the answer afterwards , which did not sit well with the player from Rocafonda, according to the newspaper Marca on Sunday.

Lamine, held back by Camavinga to avoid further damage, launched an attack, and then a scuffle broke out, with Thibaut Courtois entering the scene to also reprimand his opponent for his attitude before the match, while Yamal urged some Madrid players to face Marc Casadó in the locker room, distancing him from the fight.

Vinícius then said: "Speak now," said the Real Madrid number 7, who had to be restrained to prevent him from lunging at Lamine Yamal when the Barça winger told him to leave the pitch .

With both teams separated without the situation escalating, Real Madrid players huddled together in midfield to celebrate a key victory that strengthened the Whites' lead in LaLiga , where they were already five points ahead of their arch-rivals.
