Federico Valverde punches opponent after Real Madrid’s loss
This morning, Real Madrid lost to Villarreal 2-3 at home and had less and less chance to defend the La Liga title. After 28 rounds, Los Blancos are 12 points behind Barcelona and this gap could be widened to 15 points early next week.
Not only did they lose bitterly, Real Madrid also created a serious controversy after the match. Prestigious Spanish sources say Real Madrid star Federico Valverde blocked the road, punching Villarreal midfielder Alex Baena in the parking lot of the two teams.
Federico Valverde sat on the bench and played the last 30 minutes in this match. He quietly left the field early and waited for Alex Baena outside. When Baena appeared, the Uruguayan star immediately hit the sky, making midfielder Villarreal unable to react. The local police immediately arrived to deal with the incident and they had video evidence.
Earlier, Valverde clashed with Baena in the field and asked the young Spaniard to talk about harassment after the game ended. The origin of the incident began with the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal in the Copa del Rey on January 19 of this year.
In that match, Real Madrid came up against Villarreal 3-2 after being 2-0 down. Valverde and Baena constantly collided in the field. According to ESPN, the Villarreal midfielder cursed Valverde’s wife, Mina Bonino, to have a miscarriage when she learned she was ill and this has turned out to be true.
In February, Mina Bonino confirmed on her personal page that they had lost their unborn child. Therefore, Valverde wanted to hit Baena as soon as he entered the field. However, he tried to restrain himself to ask his opponent to go out to the parking lot of the two clubs.
This case is becoming the focus of the Spanish media. Villarreal and Baena have denied that this player slandered the Valverde family. However, they intend not to sue the Real Madrid star.
