Villarreal participant Alejandro Baena has denounced an “assault” amid Spanish media stories saying that the midfielder was allegedly hit by Real Madrid participant Federico Valverde after Villarreal’s 3-2 win on Saturday.
Baena stated on his Twitter account that he was “very happy for the incredible victory of my team at a stadium like the Santiago Bernabeu, but at the same time very sad for the assault I have suffered after the game.”
Spanish radio Cadena Ser and different media retailers reported late on Saturday evening that Valverde allegedly hit Baena whereas the Villarreal participant was about to board the group bus.
The stories stated that Valverde was supposedly indignant at Baena for his alleged insults throughout the match, together with a remark about his son.
In his message on Twitter, Baena denied having insulted Valverde’s son: “I am surprised about what is being said about me. It is completely false that I said that.”
Neither membership has commented publicly on the alleged incident.
