Frenkie de Jong addressed the conflict which broke out after the El Clasico. Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong said that the reactions to Lamine Yamal's comment by Real Madrid players were exaggerated, noting that they could have handled it differently. What happened El Clásico erupted into squabbles at the end of the game, with Real Madrid players specifically Vinicius and Dani Carvajal, among others, gesturing to Yamal. Ahead of the game, the teenager was attributed to having said Real Madrid “robbed teams.” As Pulse Sports reported, the statement angered the Los Blancos dressing room, and Dani Carvajal, in his role as captain, planned on speaking to him. After the game, Carvajal gestured and said the teenager talked too much; Yamal was said to have responded in kind. What Frenkie de Jong said Speaking after the game, Frenkie de Jong said the Real Madrid players had handled the situation poorly. Alluding to Carvajal, he believed that a private call to Yamal would have been better than the public gesture. “The reaction of the Real Madrid players was all very exaggerated,” he said, per Football Espana. “If you know Lamine and you think he doesn’t have to make these statements, you speak to him privately. Why make gestures on the pitch? “Besides, it’s not that big of a deal. I didn’t hear Lamine saying that Real Madrid stole directly. Someone else in the Kings League table said it.”
