"I think Lamine is a young kid and he wasn't entirely right in those statements, but that's all. As I said before with [Diego] Simeone, everyone tries to defend their own at the club level. He's a great kid, and that's where it ended."
"I don't wish him the best tomorrow, obviously."
"It's always a good time to win a final, especially against Barcelona, and I imagine our opponents feel the same way. Whoever wins tomorrow will come out stronger, as is only natural,"
FC Barcelona and Real Madrid meet in the Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with heightened tension from recent off-field incidents. Lamine Yamal is at full fitness and expected to start for Barcelona. Comments made by Yamal before a previous Clasico were taken out of context, prompting displeasure among Real Madrid players and a post-match confrontation after Madrid's 2-1 win. Dani Carvajal described Yamal as a young kid who was not entirely right, defended club reactions, called Yamal a great kid, yet stated he does not wish Yamal the best tomorrow. Carvajal added that the winner will gain momentum for the season.
