Alex Baena makes statement after Valverde punch

Alex Baena has issued an official statement about the aggression he suffered from Fede Valverde after the Real Madrid - Villarreal match. The Yellow Submarine midfielder has made a statement after denouncing the Uruguayan to the police.

Firstly, he confirms, once again, Valverde's aggression and denies what the Uruguayan's entourage explained to some media, that Baena uttered a terrible phrase aimed directly to the unborn son he has on the way.

"Last Saturday I was assaulted by a professional colleague. After the event, some statements allegedly made by his entourage came to light, in which it was said that I had wished for the harm of a family member. As could not be otherwise, no evidence has been published to prove the facts that I am accused of," wrote Baena in his statement.

"A misfortune was used to justify the aggression and there are lies that hurt more than the blows," he continues forcefully. "The damage that is being done to my family is irreparable and unjustifiable: threats, insults and even private messages wishing death.

"Yesterday I reported the case to the police. Let justice do its job. My only objective now is to focus on my profession and help my club to achieve its objectives," he concluded.
