'Real Madrid players went after Lamine Yamal' - Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong lifts lid on Clasico brawl
""I didn't see what happened. I was on the bench and saw a lot of people. When the referee blew his whistle, Real Madrid players went after Lamine. It's a bit exaggerated. You'd have to ask them," he told Movistar. "In the first half we weren't sharp with the ball. Madrid hurt with their players up front. In the second half we lacked the ability to create danger and clear chances.""
""Carvajal can speak to him privately. Making the gesture on the pitch is more of the same. If you're a teammate of Lamine and you want him to keep his statements to a minimum, you can speak privately. What has Lamine said? Has he said that Madrid steal? He has not said it, not directly. People are saying things to him, but I haven't heard Lamine say anything like that.""
A brawl erupted at the end of El Clasico when Barcelona and Real Madrid players clashed on the pitch following full time. Dani Carvajal and Thibaut Courtois were seen approaching Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal after the game. Frenkie de Jong described the Real Madrid players' reaction as exaggerated and said they went after Lamine when the referee blew the whistle. De Jong criticized Barcelona's play, saying the team lacked sharpness in the first half and failed to create clear chances in the second. De Jong recommended private conversations rather than on-pitch gestures and said he had not heard Lamine accuse Madrid of stealing.
