Tumults at the Clásico: “These pictures go around the world”

Before the Clásico, Barca star Lamine Yamal said that Real Madrid were regularly favored by the referees, causing a stir. Real coach Xabi Alonso is confronted with the statements at the press conference before the game.

Chaotic scenes occurred during the Clásico. The trigger was a red card given to a Barça star.

After a second yellow card against Barça’s Pedri deep into stoppage time (90+10), both sides clashed off the field, leading to group confrontations involving mainly players who hadn’t participated in the match.

Real’s substitute goalkeeper Andriy Lunin and Vinícius Júnior angrily shouted at the Barça side but were pulled back by security forces and police. Coach Xabi Alonso also tried to intervene. The target of their anger wasn’t immediately clear.

In the background, David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger appeared, both currently injured, attempting to mediate.

After the final whistle, which sounded a few seconds later, the disputes continued on the field. Real’s Brahim Díaz became agitated on the pitch but was calmed down by Barça coach Marcus Sorg, who was standing in for the suspended Hansi Flick.

While a Barça staff member escorted superstar Lamine Yamal, who had previously had a verbal exchange with Thibaut Courtois, to the tunnel, the currently injured Raphinha suddenly appeared, confronting various people until Rüdiger intervened and pulled the Brazilian aside.

After a while, the situation calmed down and the players disappeared into the tunnel areas.
