Watch: Barcelona’s Arnau Tenas and Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal in on-field confrontation after El Clasico
Barcelona 3rd choice goalkeeper Arnau Tenas and Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal got into a heated confrontation after Sunday’s El Clasico which was won the Catalans at the Camp Nou.
With the Barcelona players celebrating on the pitch after their 2nd straight victory against real in a month, Carvajal appeared to say something to Tenas which led to the two squaring up in the middle of the pitch.
Carvajal was then pushed away a Barcelona substitute but Tenas appeared to be enraged as he tried to have a go at the Los Blancos player, only to be separated a number of players from both teams. After peace was restored, Carvajal walked away towards the dressing room while Tenas stayed on the pitch and joined the celebrations.
The pair will meet again very soon as Barcelona will host Real Madrid on April 6 for the 2nd leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals. The Catalans had bested Real 1-0 in the first leg owing to a Eder Militao own goal.
On Sunday, Barcelona’s pursuit of a 27th Spanish title gained momentum after they secured a 2-1 comeback win over Real. The result left second-placed Real trailing Barca 12 points. Real took an early lead after a Vinicius Jr cross deflected off defender Ronald Araujo and went inside his own goal.
But Barca hit back on halftime with a tidy finish Sergi Roberto from close range. Barca kept pushing for the winner after the break and finally got it in added time when Alejandro Balde raced down the left channel and crossed to Franck Kessie who unleashed an unstoppable first touch strike to give Barca the win.
