Before the game, Lamine Yamal made cheeky remarks about Madrid during an online show.
After the final whistle, Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal walked over to the young Barcelona winger and made a “keep quiet” gesture.
Other players joined in, and a brief scuffle followed. Furthermore, security and staff separated both teams.
Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong defended his teammate. He said the reaction was “exaggerated” and that, if someone had a problem with what Lamine Yamal said, they should speak to him in private.
