"There has never been any incident, any strange behaviour from anyone. There are no schoolyard fights. The feeling is one of family, of unity, prioritising the common good over individual gain. That says a lot about this group of footballers,"
"I think that now it's up to their clubs to talk; the people at their clubs are responsible. I've spoken a lot with Lamine, as well as with Dani Carvajal, and with everyone else."
"I'll always remember the European Championship, Lamine's cross and Carvajal's finish, the hug they shared, their faces, that's what happens in the national team. I'm totally and absolutely convinced that the common good is what matters here,"
Tensions flared after the first El Clasico when Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal exchanged words with Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal, prompting a large melee following the hosts' 2-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu. Squad cohesion remains intact, with unity and prioritising the common good over individual gain emphasised. No national-level intervention or mediation is planned, and club personnel are expected to handle club-level conversations. Past positive moments between the two players, including a shared celebration after a European Championship goal involving a Lamine cross and a Carvajal finish, serve as examples of mutual respect and teamwork.
