Real Madrid players Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde were on the verge of fighting during team training.
According to Marca, the incident occurred after a foul during a game, and the players pushed each other. The argument continued in the locker room.
The tense atmosphere within the team has worsened shortly before the 35th round of La Liga against Barcelona. This could be the championship match for the Catalans. Previously, there were reports of a conflict between defenders Antonio Rüdiger and Alvaro Carreras. It was also reported that at least six Real Madrid players have already stopped communicating with head coach Alvaro Arbeloa, and some do not even speak to each other.
El Clasico is scheduled for May 10 and will be held at the Spotify Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona. The Catalans only need to avoid defeat to win the La Liga title. After 34 rounds of the Spanish championship, Barcelona leads the standings with 88 points, while Real Madrid is in second place with 77 points.
