Barcelona players were absolutely furious after Raúl Asensio brutally halted their attacking move.

Details: The tension in today’s El Clásico is reaching fever pitch—this time, it escalated into a brawl.

After Real Madrid’s attack fizzled out, the Catalans launched a rapid counter, only for Real defender Raúl Asensio to bring it to a screeching halt with a reckless foul in the center of the pitch. That challenge sparked outrage among the Barcelona squad.

The referee immediately showed Asensio a yellow card, but for the Blaugrana, that punishment was far too lenient for such a foul. They demanded a straight red for the Real defender, but the official stood firm on his decision.

Next, Barcelona winger Raphinha got into a heated exchange with Real’s captain Federico Valverde. Tempers flared—Raphinha shoved the Uruguayan, but Valverde wasn’t backing down and retaliated with a blow of his own. The scuffle sent Raphinha tumbling to the turf, forcing the referee to pull out yet another yellow card, this time for the Barcelona winger.

As it stands, the score is locked at 2-2.

Reminder: This is madness! Real equalizes in the dying seconds of the first half. 3 goals in added time from both teams
