Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso doesn’t want to give much thought to the controversial comments from Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal, who accused Madrid of “stealing and complaining.

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso refused to be drawn on comments from Lamine Yamal ahead of the Clásico, after the Barcelona star joked that Madrid "rob and complain."

After the final whistle in Sunday’s 2-1 painful defeat in El Clasico, Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal went to shake hands with Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal. The two are Spain team-mates. They shared the right flank during last year’s European Championship victory — and should be partners there again in next summer’s World Cup.

Xabi Alonso avoided stoking the fire when pressed on Lamine Yamal ’s suggestions that Real Madrid "cheat" and "complain" in a televised interview on Friday.
