Fede Valverde assaulted Alex Baena at the end of the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal which resulted in victory for the yellows and practically a final goodbye from the Madrid team to LaLiga.
The first official document on the incident involving Fede Valverde and Alejandro Baena includes an allusion to “previous friction” between both players. According to what police sources have informed El Confidencial, that was what was recorded in the first act that the agents wrote and in which they described the events at 11:25 p.m. from the parking lot of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
The police officers who sign it report that they were required to be performing that night at the Madrid stadium. They came for a punchalthough previously stated a previous discussion within the scope of his sporting activity.
From what follows the uniformed were not present at the time of the violent impact but they assure that they were called by the attacked person, who informed them that he had been the victim of a punch by the Real Madrid midfielder. Alejandro Baena and Federico Valverde were identified. The certificate was filled out under Law 19/2007 against violence, racism, xenophobia and intolerance in sport, a common procedure when any aggression of this type occurs on a football field or in the surrounding area.
The norm that contemplates the highest economic sanctions of the entire Spanish legal system that could arrive up to 650,000 euros fine although by no means will it be the one that falls on Valverde.
The Uruguayan’s defense alludes to a hurtful comment referring to the family environment that Baena made to him during the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals. According to the version of the white player, He alluded to the problems in his wife’s pregnancyBonino Mine.
But Baena denies the accusation and his club he also doubts her According to the dates on which the problems in the pregnancy of Valverde’s partner were known, the Argentine journalist Mina Bonino because the news of the problems in her pregnancy was not officially released until days after that meeting.
It is true that Bonino had registered a cryptic message on December 15: “This week was one of the most difficult that we had to go through (…) Now we have to go through some difficult months, but we are going to get out of this and of all those that come and everything will remain an anecdote”.
Thebes and the complaint to the Police
Javier Tebas, for his part, has come to assess this issue this Tuesday at a press conference and has referred to the possible provocation as mitigating: “The Anti-Violence Commission was going to enter ex officio and has entered ex officio. It is still an incident that occurs in the car parks of a League stadium. I don’t know if there has been a provocation, but it is an extenuation, never the justification of the fact. But It will be the Competition who must impose the sanctions corresponding. It is a reprehensible fact, but on other levels, we cannot compare.”
On the other hand, upon arriving in Castellón, Baena filed a formal complaint for an alleged crime of injuries at a National Police station, the first step to open a criminal investigation that has already caused the police authorities to open a report. If sufficient evidence is found, they could refer the facts to a court and that would give priority to this second path over the administrative one, which would remain on hold.
