Real Madrid midfielder remains fully committed despite saying he ‘he’d never play’ for club in tense moment

Over the past couple of days, a lot has changed for Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde.

Very little time has passed between the tension with Aurelien Tchouameni, the subsequent physical altercation, the apology thereafter and finally the sanction from the club, but an enormous amount has happened.

Valverde going through his toughest period

Now, according to AS, during these days, Valverde has lived through, and continues to endure, the hardest period of his professional career.

The fight on Thursday was the fire, but the spark came a day earlier. The heated exchange on Wednesday was the real trigger. That argument, which soon became public knowledge, led the Uruguayan midfielder to demand explanations from Tchouameni.

Everything else followed afterwards. A highly charged training session and a brawl that pushed tensions at Valdebebas to unprecedented levels, dragging Valverde into a spiral he neither could nor knew how to control.

It was only once he returned home from hospital, with his emotions finally settling, that the full reality of the situation hit him. There was deep regret. So much so that Valverde has accepted the €500,000 fine imposed by the club on both him and Tchouameni.

Fully committed to the club
