The Real Madrid fans applauded Federico Valverde in the minute of his number, although it was not as loud as announced
It was the way to wrap him up after the controversy he starred in with Álex Baena, whom he punched
Federico Valverde was the protagonist in Real Madrid – Chelsea. The Uruguayan has lived a week in the eye of the hurricane after the punch he gave Álex Baena at the end of the game against Villarreal. Real Madrid decided to support him and applauded him in minute 15, the number he wears on his shirt. However, the cheers were quite timid and far from it came to the shouting that had been announced.
Real Madrid fans have opted for the version of Valverde’s entourage. This theory says that Baena remembered the son that the Uruguayan must have in the Copa del Rey match at La Cerámica.
On the contrary, Baena made a statement denying this version and has reported the white footballer to the police. The facts seem proven and Valverde himself would have admitted the punch.
However, the madridista has not apologized and he does not suggest that he will do so if he maintains that he received the provocation from the Villarreal footballer.
