Real Madrid’s clash against Barcelona descended into chaos on Sunday night as tempers flared at full-time – and wonderkid Lamine Yamal was at the centre of things.
Xabi Alonso‘s side earned the El Clasico bragging rights via a 2-1 victory, which took on added significance given they lost all four encounters against their arch-rivals last season.
Goals from Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham either side of a Fermin Lopez equaliser was enough for Los Blancos, but things got out of control in the final throes of a typically heated game.
In the 10th minute of stoppage time, Barcelona midfielder Pedri lost control of the ball and caught Aurelien Tchouameni late with a lunge, and the Spaniard was given a second yellow card.
This caused a major flashpoint as players and staff members on both sides clashed on the touchline, with Vinicius Jnr appearing to be at the heart of things, and Alonso was forced to hold his players back.
Eder Militao and back-up keeper Andriy Lunin were booked, but second later things kicked off again when referee Cesar Soto Grado blew his full-time whistle.

Dani Carvajal appeared to confront Yamal following his barbed comments in the run-up to the clash, when the 18-year-old compared Real to a team that ‘robs, complains, and does things’, something that unsurprisingly didn’t go down well in the Spanish capital.
Carvajal seemed to be making a talking gesture with his hands and Yamal, who was saying something back, attempted to approach the veteran full back but was restrained by Edouardo Camavinga.
Several players then piled in, with Thibaut Courtois pushing Yamal away and pointing his fingers at him.
The wonderkid was escorted off the pitch by security but not before Vinicius Jnr tried to confront him, although the Brazilian was held back.
