Federico Valverde and Alex Baana. Big storm in Madrid (Reuters)
A big storm in Spain. The local police announced tonight (between Saturday and Sunday) that they are investigating a case in which Federico Valverde attacked Alex Baana in the parking area of the guest bus at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium after Real Madrid’s 3:2 loss to Villarreal.
According to the reports, the Uruguayan midfielder surprised the striker when he was focused on his phone, punched him in the face and told him: “Say again what you said about my son when we were on the field, now.” Baana immediately called security as his cheek was red from the blow he had received. It should be noted that there were other Real Madrid players present.
In Spain they claim that the whole incident happened near a security camera and the police have records of the incident. In addition, Villarreal also has a full video of the event. The yellow club does not plan to sue Valverde and they leave the decision in Baana’s hands.
If it does turn out that the Blancos midfielder violently attacked Baana, he may be banned until the end of the season. A person in charge of the Yellow Submarine tweeted after the incident on Twitter: “Peda Valverde is a bully and a coward”, but after a few minutes he deleted the tweet.
A few months ago, Valverde’s wife thought that she would have to abort her second child, but in the end everything worked out. In ‘Marka’ it is claimed that during the cup match between the teams held at the same time Valverde was dealing with the complication of his wife’s pregnancy, Baana laughed about it and told the midfielder: “Cry now that your son was not born”.
AS claimed that although the Villarreal player added and made crying noises at him in the match between the teams in the cup, Valverde tried to ignore it. Tonight Baana made another similar comment to him and it was too much for the midfielder who reacted angrily and “warned him not to mess with his family” when the two met off the pitch. As mentioned, the police started investigating the case.
