Barcelona"Speak now, speak now," Vinícius told Lamine Yamal. And the player from Rocafonda summoned the Brazilian in the locker room tunnel, away from the cameras. After winning the first Clásico in months, Real Madrid threw a big party on the Santiago Bernabéu pitch, but many Real Madrid players preferred to go after Lamine Yamal immediately after the match. Their priority was to poke the young Barça player, rather than celebrate the victory. Lamine's words Yamal on a Kings League show, A competition in which he presides over a team and who, with an ironic tone, said that Real Madrid usually enjoys the referee's favor, was hounded throughout the match. At the end of the match, most of the protagonists tried to calm things down, following the sad images on the pitch. Only Tchouaméni spoke openly, and he didn't do so to attack Lamine Yamal; quite the opposite. He came to say that he likes it when players say things like that.

But before that, Xabi Alonso's team players were constantly stalking Lamine Yamal. At the end of the match, Carvajal, Courtois, and Vinícius turned around to chase Lamine Yamal, who, with his head held high, summoned them into the locker room. The Maresme native didn't back down, as he wasn't having a good day, football-wise. "It wasn't easy for him; he still lacks rhythm and he had two players defending him," said Marcus Sorg, who spoke at a press conference and admitted that he wasn't sure who had "started the brawl at the end, since there were a lot of people shouting."

Already during the match, Vinícius and Lamine Yamal were going after each other. After Fermín's equalizer, the Brazilian told the Catalan that he wasn't playing well and was only passing backwards. Shortly after, they made up and hugged. But as the end of the match approached, more than one player failed to control themselves, especially Vinícius, the usual suspect. When Xabi Alonso substituted him, the Brazilian nursed his own coach and went to the showers. In fact, Alonso admitted he should have spoken calmly with him. Later, the Brazilian regretted it, returned to the bench, and ended up confronting the Barça substitutes, demanding Pedri's red card. And when the match was over, everything exploded.

The first to approach the Barça player to criticize him for his statements before El Clásico was Carvajal. Two teammates, but the Real Madrid captain couldn't stop making a gesture with his fingers, telling him he was talking too much. Lamine Yamal responded in a tense, but still relatively controlled exchange. It was then that Courtois arrived, much more aggressive, and confronted Lamine Yamal, causing a scene worthy of a neighborhood match, with starters, substitutes, members of the coaching staff, and national police officers separating the most nervous players as best they could. Vinícius, watching from a distance, waited for Lamine Yamal as he headed towards the locker room. Just when it seemed things had calmed down, Vinícius added fuel to the fire, reminding Lamine Yamal that he talks too much. The Brazilian had to be restrained by several Madrid employees and security guards because he wanted to go and get the Barça player from the locker room, where more tense moments ensued.

Araujo, angry about the defeat, defended his teammate by saying that "he's very professional," while Xabi Alonso avoided explaining whether Lamine's words had served to spur his men on further. "We had plenty of reasons to be motivated and get a much-needed win," said the Basque, while De Jong tried to reason with the Real Madrid press, trying to make them understand the context of Lamine Yamal's words. It was a relaxed and festive atmosphere, the complete opposite of what was found at the Bernabéu.
