Real Madrid Beat Barcelona 2–1 After Confrontation

Real Madrid came from behind to beat Barcelona 2–1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Fermín López opening for Barcelona before Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham completed the turnaround. Barcelona’s Pedri was sent off late. Tensions erupted after the final whistle when Dani Carvajal confronted Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal, and other Madrid players appeared ready to engage before teammates and coaches intervened. Bellingham posted an Instagram caption reading “Talk is cheap. Hala Madrid siempre,” a move that has drawn fresh scrutiny of his attitude amid recent questions over his England standing. Manager Xabi Alonso downplayed the off-field row while stressing the need for focus as Madrid seek to extend their lead in La Liga.
