The incident has come as a shock to those within the club, as Tchouameni is widely regarded as one of the most level-headed and responsible figures in the Real Madrid dressing room.
The report indicates that this was his first involvement in a confrontation of this nature, leaving the player feeling isolated and confused by the sudden escalation.
Throughout the afternoon, staff worked to “lower the temperature” of the situation and understand the specific triggers that led to the brawl.
Despite their efforts, Tchouameni was described as being in a state of significant distress and left the Valdebebas facility later than usual, clearly affected by the unpleasantness of the event.
Real Madrid’s focus now remains on managing the emotional fallout of the “Civil War” in the locker room, while simultaneously preparing for Sunday’s El Clasico.
