😱 It was an accident, no one hit me: Valverde denies row with Tchouaméni

After a day of extreme tension in Valdebebas, Federico Valverde used his social media to give his version of the clash with Aurélien Tchouaméni. The Uruguayan, who suffered a head injury and a cut in the incident, denied reports of an intentional physical assault, describing what happened as an unfortunate result of fatigue and competitive frustration.

Accident or fight?

In his statement, "The Falcon" explained that, during an argument, he accidentally hit a table, which caused the cut and led to his subsequent trip to the hospital. "At no point did my teammate hit me, and I didn’t hit him either," the player said firmly, trying to stop rumors of a fistfight. Valverde blamed the scale of the scandal on "someone who spreads the story quickly" and on the pressure of a trophyless season.

Regret and commitment

The midfielder expressed deep pain over the image that had been projected and offered a heartfelt apology to Madridismo. Visibly affected, he admitted that it hurts him more than anyone to miss the next match due to a medical decision after giving everything throughout the year. Finally, he made himself available to the club to cooperate with the open disciplinary procedure, reaffirming his loyalty to Real Madrid above any personal friction.
