Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1, thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. Meanwhile, Fermin Lopez scored for Barcelona. With this victory, Real Madrid increased the gap to 5 points over Barca in the LaLiga rankings.
Immediately after the match ended, a fight broke out between the coaching staff and players of both teams, especially when midfielder Pedri received a second yellow card. According to referee Soto Grado's report after the match, he showed a red card to Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.
Lunin was sent off off off the bench to aggressively go to the bench and had to be controlled by his teammates, referee Grado noted in the post-match minutes.
In addition to Lunin, six other players were also given yellow cards for their late-inning behavior. These players include Rodrygo, Vinicius and Militao of Real Madrid, and Fermin, Balde and Ferran of Barcelona. All were cautioned for confrontations with opponents, although not as aggressive as Lunin.
According to Spanish media, the Real Madrid and Barca players got into a fight after the match partly because Real Madrid's Dani Carvajal was provinceous in retaliating against Lamine Yamal after the match.
In front of El Clasico, Yamal caused great controversy when sharing on social networks that Real Madrid players always "sure and complain" about El Clasico matches.
Barca midfielder Frenkie de Jong criticized Carvajal's reaction, saying it was unnecessary and should be resolved separately between the two players, especially when they are teammates in the Spanish national team.
According to De Jong, Yamal's words were cut out of context and caused unnecessary tension for the players of both teams in the match.
In addition, striker Vinicius, who had previously gone down the tunnel after being substituted, reappeared and was held back by Real Madrid's staff as he tried to approach Yamal.
