Baena: “Totally lie that I said that to Valverde!”

Categorically Alex Baena denied what he is credited with saying to Fede Valverde causing the latter to attack. Real’s Uruguayan midfielder punched Villarreal’s ace after yesterday’s match between the two teams at the “Bernabeu” (2-3) because the latter had allegedly made an unacceptable comment to him about his son.

“I am very happy for the impressive victory of my team in a stadium like the ‘Bernabeu’, but at the same time very sad about the attack I received after the game and surprised at what is being said about me. It is a complete lie that I said such a thing!“, the Villarreal winger wrote on social media.

The feud between the two players had started in a Copa del Rey match, when the Villarreal winger, after a hard tackle on Valverde, was said to have told him “weep now, that your son will not be born!». The sickening comment Baena allegedly made was in reference to the difficulties the Real player’s partner Mina Bonino had during her pregnancy, who eventually gave birth to their child in 2020.
