Fede Valverde finally answers if Aurelien Tchouameni really hit him during locker room altercation

He added, “Clearly, someone here is spreading rumors, and with a season without titles, where Real Madrid is always under scrutiny, everything gets blown out of proportion.”

The statement makes it clear that while there was a disagreement, Valverde believes the situation has been exaggerated, especially given the current pressure surrounding the team.

His comments also hint at frustration within the squad, with internal matters becoming public during a difficult end to the season.

What actually happened during the Real Madrid dressing room incident

Valverde went on to clarify exactly how the situation escalated and how he sustained his injury.

“Today we had another disagreement. During the argument, I accidentally hit a table, causing a small cut on my forehead that required a routine visit to the hospital,” he continued.

“At no point did my teammate hit me, I didn’t hit him either. I feel that my anger about the situation, frustration at seeing some of us struggling to get through end of season, giving it our all, pushed me to the point of arguing with a teammate,” Valverde concluded.

According to multiple reports, the disagreement began during training and carried into the dressing room, where tensions boiled over amid a challenging campaign for the club.

Valverde’s injury, initially feared to be the result of a physical altercation, was instead caused by him striking a table during the heated exchange, leading to a cut on his forehead and a precautionary hospital visit.

Real Madrid are dealing with internal frustrations after failing to secure major silverware this season, with reports suggesting multiple disagreements within the squad as pressure continues to build.

For now, Valverde’s message is clear. There was tension, but not the kind of fight that many believed.
