When Clasico Drama Met a Trophy: Yamal, Carvajal and the Spanish Super Cup Night

Key moments of the final

Dani Carvajal of Real Madrid and Lamine Yamal of Barcelona drew intense scrutiny after the match, the Spanish Super Cup final held in Saudi Arabia.

Barcelona claimed the title with a 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the final staged yesterday in Saudi Arabia.

AS published a video of the moment Real Madrid players passed through the ceremonial corridor Barca had prepared during the medal ceremony.

In that clip, Real Madrid players walk to the applause of Barca teammates, but Yamal drew attention by stepping back and not clapping for the Royals while sipping water.

Controversies and post-match notes

Carvajal was the last Madrid player to pass, but he returned to speak with Yamal and whispered something into his ear.

The paper described the moment as a 'tense moment' between Yamal and Carvajal.

The La Liga Clasico was tense before the match due to Yamal's pre-game remarks that Real Madrid interpreted as belittling the team; there were minor clashes between Lamine and some Madrid players, notably Carvajal.

Many social media reactions criticized Yamal for not clapping.

Madrid snubs Barca; scoreboard says LOL.
