Barcelona’s player, Lamine Yamal, appears to have clicked on the reflective mode after the clash with Real Madrid’s players at the end of the El Clásico match in Bernabéu.

The game ended in chaos on Sunday 26th October after, though Madrid won 2-1.

Although many are still gossiping about it online, a visit to Lamine’s social media pages, especially Instagram where he is otherwise active, shows that he has not said anything about the saga.

Trouble started when Madrid’s Dani Carvajal confronted Yamal , mocking his pre-match comments where he accused Madrid of “stealing” and “complaining.”  

Spectators claim that Carvajal told him, “You talk too much, talk now,” before players from both sides rushed in. 

Madrid’s goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois; and player, Eduardo Camavinga, stepped in to separate Yamal and Vinícius Jr., while substitute Éder Militão was given a yellow card for his involvement during the fight. 

The tense game ended with Pedri getting a red card and Bellingham scoring Madrid’s winning goal. After the match, Bellingham posted “Talk is cheap,” which many believe was aimed at Yamal.  

The Spanish Football Federation is reviewing the incident, though no formal sanctions have been announced.
