The latest El Clásico in Spain has sparked serious controversy, both on and off the pitch, according to Foot Mercato. Relations between Real Madrid defender Daniel Carvajal and Barcelona's young star Lamin Yamal escalated after the match.
According to reports, the two players have stopped following each other on social media. This situation has also caused some concern around the Spanish national team. National team head coach Luis de la Fuente is expected to personally interview both players to maintain a stable atmosphere within the team.
According to the introduction, the conflict began with an episode during "El Clasico." Lamin Yamal, after the controversial situation in the game, accused Real Madrid of cheating and claimed they had used the referee's decisions. These statements were widely discussed on the internet and criticized by many Blancos fans.
At the end of the match, after Real Madrid's victory, Carvajal reacted sharply to the opposing team's player. His gesture to Yamal, "don't talk too much," was recorded on cameras and became viral on social media.
Football fans and sports journalists assess this situation as a clash of two generations - an experienced captain and a young talent. Carvajal is 31 years old and one of the team's leaders, while Yamal is 18 years old and is currently one of Spain's youngest and most talented wingers.
According to some analysts, the main reason for the conflict is that the long-standing rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid affects young players as well. Carvajal, in turn, advocates for maintaining the national team atmosphere "on the basis of collective solidarity and respect."
Luis de la Fuente is expected to hold separate talks with both players in the coming days. His main task is not to turn the conflict into a big problem within the national team. The Spanish national team will play important matches in the Euro 2028 qualifying stage in November, and the coach wants to resolve any conflicts within the team.
Thus, the fight at El Clásico left a mark not only on the score but also on the relationship. This disorder between Carvajal and Yamal clearly showed that the big football competition in Spain had an impact on the national team. Fans, meanwhile, hope that both stars will maintain their athletic spirit while maintaining their dedication on the field.
