Baena accuses Fede Valverde of the attack

It all ended after a real match between Real Madrid and Villarreal in it Santiago Bernabeu when the apparent peace was blown away. Fede Valverde He went to the Villarreal bus, parked in the white coliseum parking lot and waited there Alex Baena. According to the Uruguayan’s version, he challenged the Villarreal player to repeat some hypothetical and unfortunate words he would have said during the cup match at La Cerámica in January about the son he is expecting with his wife after a very complicated pregnancy, which even caused fear for the birth of the child.

“Cry now when your child will not be born”, the yellow soccer player would say to the Uruguayan after a fixed game, always according to the version of Valverde’s entourage. He would keep this insult until it exploded after a league match in Chamartín, in which similar phrases would be repeated by a Groguet player. “Now tell me what you said to me about my son on the pitch,” the Real Madrid player would say, followed by the attack, with a punch to the cheekbone that caused visible swelling, which could be seen in some later pictures. arrival of Villarreal.

Baena emerged from the huge crowd that had formed at dawn to firmly deny the version offered by Valverde via his social media. «I am very sad about the aggression I suffered after the game and surprised by what is being said about me. It’s completely false that I said that,” said the Villarreal footballer, who eventually decided to report the facts to the police, a decision his club supports despite having ruled out any action of his own in advance. So resolving the case is now focused on criminal proceedings, since when the attack happened outside the field, there is nothing in the referee’s record about it.

“Villarreal supports and will support Baena in this situation and will respect the decision he makes as affected. The club will not condemn Real Madrid for this matter,” the Yellow Submarine explained in a statement.

The controversy did not end there, as Valverde’s wife, Bonino mine, got involved after speculation on social media that the announcement about the pregnancy problems of the Argentinian journalist followed the cup match between Villarreal and Real Madrid which could also be traced to the origin of it. . “Do I have to go out and explain myself when they told me that the pregnancy cannot continue? We kept quiet for almost two months, waiting for the results to find out if we can continue or not with a five-month pregnancy,” she said very annoyed, later using information that already talked about complications in the young couple’s pregnancy. second child before the public announcement. from her side.

Possible sanctions

Both Valverde and Real Madrid themselves decided to reduce the tension and accept restraint the day after. The Whites had a smooth recovery session with a view to the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Chelsea. This is now in focus for the Uruguayan midfielder, who wants to turn the page.

With all the facts on the table, It remains to be seen whether Valverde will finally be sportingly punished and the dimension of punishment, which can be very harsh. Although the record does not mention what happened in the parking lot, the evidence in the form of witnesses and recordings of the event is convincing, so the Competition Commission could pronounce an answer appropriate to what happened. Likewise, in addition to reporting to the police, the case will be resolved through criminal proceedings, and an appropriate administrative sanction will be imposed for punching and its physical consequences.
