During the Catalan club's 2-1 victory over Los Blancos in LaLiga on Sunday, Dani Ceballos tussled with Gavi in an incident that had many wondering how they would get on when meeting up for international duty.
The Real midfielder, 26, has since revealed that he and the 18-year-old have since been ordered to make up by new Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente.
"The coach was aware that we had had our ups and downs. He told us to talk about it, and that is what we have done," he told Marca.
The two midfielders grew up in neighbouring towns in Spain, with Ceballos insisting that their on-field spat will not continue off the field.
"You know how we are in the south. We are very hot. It's all working out," he added.
"We have discussed it. Everything that happens on the pitch stays there. We have to go in the same direction. If the good atmosphere and good vibes don't work, I'm not going to run for him and he's not going to run for me.
"This must be put aside. We share position. Now we are partners."
Ceballos returns to the Spain squad for the first time since 2020, having previously been capped on 11 occasions on the international stage.
Gavi, meanwhile, has made 17 appearances for La Furia Roja since his debut in 2021.
