Frenkie de Jong spoke about the brawl at the end of El Clasico after players from Barcelona and Real Madrid clashed on the pitch at the end of the game.
Dani Carvajal and Thibaut Courtois were both seen
approaching Lamine Yamal after the game, and De Jong was critical of the players’ behaviour at the Santiago Bernabeu.
“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.”
