Dani Carvajal's beautiful gesture toward Ronald Araújo leaves Lamine Yamal deeply hurt

The Spanish Super Cup final played yesterday between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid left many details to comment on. The first is the purely sporting aspect, where Flick's team prevailed with a lot of effort over Xabi Alonso's team in a thrilling Clásico that ended 3-2. Raphinha was decisive with two goals, while on the white side, Vinícius was the best.

But beyond what was seen on the field, what really drew the attention of many came in the middle of the celebration. In this type of match, when a title is won, the character of the teams is portrayed as much as their tactics. There, in a scene that was seemingly insignificant but loaded with symbolism, Dani Carvajal appeared.

Dani Carvajal went for Ronald Araújo after the final whistle

After Barça's victory, Real Madrid's footballers stayed on the field to congratulate the winners. At that moment, Dani Carvajal wanted to have a nice gesture with Ronald Araújo, who experienced a special final because of the personal process he has been going through for several weeks. The full-back approached him to ask how he was and to encourage him, a detail that was interpreted as an act of utmost respect.

The scene was applauded by fans on both sides, because it conveys a message that modern soccer needs to recover: competing is not at odds with respecting. Dani Carvajal, captain and symbol of Madrid, knew that Ronald Araújo was going through a difficult moment and he set aside the colors to support him personally.

Lamine Yamal's reaction tarnishes what happened

However, while Dani Carvajal was concerned about Ronald Araújo, the other major protagonist on an emotional level was Lamine Yamal. Barça's "10" was the only one who did not applaud during the guard of honor and who moved a few yards away from the group, with an attitude that did not go unnoticed. Dani Carvajal, who was the last to walk through, noticed the situation and reproached Lamine for it.

Thus, while Dani Carvajal was trying to show empathy with Ronald Araújo, Lamine Yamal tried to belittle Real Madrid. This attitude has cost him a lot of criticism on social media and shows that he still has a lot to learn. It is worth remembering that Lamine is only 18 years old, so these kinds of experiences will surely help him improve.

Now everyone is looking closely at the Spanish national team, where Lamine Yamal and Dani Carvajal could share a locker room. The World Cup will be played this summer and Luis de la Fuente will have to analyze the situation carefully before making a decision. They are rivals now and it seems that their relationship is not going through the best moment, but Lamine and Carvajal will surely join forces the day they wear Spain's jersey.
