La Liga to investigate Camavinga assault during Real Madrid’s Clasico victory

La Liga to investigate Camavinga assault during Real Madrid’s Clasico victory La Liga is preparing to report an alleged assault on Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga during Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Barcelona at the Camp Nou. The incident occurred during celebrations for Kylian Mbappe’s late winning goal, when a supporter appeared to strike Camavinga with a flagpole near the stands. According to The Athletic , footage circulating on social media has prompted La Liga to refer the matter to its Disciplinary Committee. The incident unfolded in the 87th minute after Mbappe scored to secure a crucial victory for Jose Mourinho’s side. Camavinga had played an important role in the goal, advancing past Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi before providing the pass for his French compatriot to finish. As Madrid’s players celebrated near the home supporters, footage appeared to show an individual swinging a flagpole towards Camavinga. Aurelien Tchouameni intervened during the confrontation, helping move his teammates away from the crowd as tensions escalated. The alleged incident was accompanied by objects being thrown from the stands during the celebrations. Referee Juan Martinez Munuera subsequently documented the disturbances in his official match report. The official recorded that a water bottle and a Coca-Cola can were thrown towards the pitch, although neither object struck a player. The incidents prompted the activation of the stadium’s established protocol for objects being thrown from spectator areas. An announcement was made over the public-address system, while the match was temporarily suspended for one minute and 20 seconds. Although the referee documented the objects thrown, the alleged flagpole incident came to wider attention following the circulation of video footage. La Liga sources have since confirmed to The Athletic that the organisation intends to bring the matter before the relevant disciplinary authorities. The league has reiterated its commitment to tackling violence and intolerance within Spanish football. However, any potential punishment will depend on the disciplinary process and the findings of the authorities responsible for reviewing the evidence. The controversy threatens to overshadow an important result for Real Madrid in the Spanish title race. Mourinho’s team ended Barcelona’s nine-match winning start to the league campaign, inflicting a damaging defeat on their biggest rivals. Mbappe’s late intervention proved decisive after an intensely contested encounter between the two Spanish giants. For Barcelona, the result represented their first domestic setback of the season, while Madrid strengthened their position in the championship race. Attention will now turn to the disciplinary investigation, with La Liga seeking action over the alleged assault and disturbances surrounding the goal celebrations. The outcome could determine whether Barcelona face sanctions for the behaviour of spectators during the high-profile fixture.
