After the El Clasico, Real Madrid captain and Spanish captain Carvajal had a fierce dispute with Barcelona starlet Yamal. The conflict took place in the center of the Bernabeu Stadium. Karanka, the current technical director of the Spanish national team, talked about this incident in an interview. Karanka was a player at Real Madrid and served as an assistant coach during Mourinho's coaching.

With the World Cup now less than a year away, Karanka said: "We are calm, the atmosphere in the national team is very good." Karanka described what he saw and heard in the national team to dispel concerns about the possible long-term impact of the row.

"I have been working at the Football Association for three months and I am proud to work with this team, the staff and the entire team. What is observed from the outside is consistent with the actual situation inside. They are a very good team, as De La Fuente said, they are the best. We are also very calm inside the Football Association because the atmosphere here is very good."

In the upcoming national team match day in November, Spain will face Georgia and Turkey. It was recently confirmed that Carvajal will miss out due to injury. The 33-year-old full-back, who has just returned from a nine-month-long right knee injury, felt knee discomfort again after Sunday's game against Barcelona and had to undergo surgery and is expected to be sidelined for two to three months.
