"A message to all Madridistas, especially those who came to the Bernabeu and supported us. The Clasico is like that; there are a lot of things happening on and off the pitch. We try to maintain a balance, but it's not always possible. We didn't want to offend anyone, not Barça players, nor the fans. We know that when we step onto the pitch, we have to defend our side, and that's how it was today."

Five players were booked and substitute Andriy Lunin was shown a red card following the scuffle. Pre-match tensions were increased by Lamine Yamal's comment that Madrid "rob and complain," and Xabi Alonso emphasized positive aspects of the game and Vinius's contributions while seeking to defuse controversy.
