A dramatic incident unfolded in Madrid when several Real Madrid players reportedly chased Barcelona’s young star Lamine Yamal after their recent El Clásico match, prompting the Spanish police to step in and defuse the situation.
According to sources close to both clubs, the altercation began moments after the final whistle, following a heated exchange between Yamal and a few Madrid players over controversial moments during the game. The verbal clash quickly escalated into a brief chase near the players’ tunnel, sparking chaos and tension.
Security personnel acted swiftly to separate the players and prevent further escalation. The Spanish police confirmed that they are conducting a preliminary investigation after videos of the incident surfaced on social media, showing the tense pursuit.
