The aggression of Federico Valverde towards Alex Baena, Villarreal player, has gone around the world and, after the scandal, the environment of Real Madrid and the Uruguayan footballer have assured that the reaction of the midfielder was due to the rival insulting his son. However, Baena himself came out to deny this version and even revealed that he had reported the 'Pajarito' to the Spanish police.

What would Alex Baena have said?
According to various people close to the white team and the Uruguayan, Baena would have said the following during the Copa del Rey match in January: "Cry now that your son will not be born". That would have caused Fede Valverde's total annoyance, although he contained it until last weekend when he hit the Villarreal player.
"What kind of human being is the one who tries to harm another with the life of a child? Well, that is Alex Baena. A person without morals, without a heart, without values. A rat. Maximum empathy with you, Fede Valverde. Always with you, Halcón", stated José Luis Cabrera, host of Real Madrid TV.
Alex Baena denies insulting Valverde's son
However, the one who is now in the 'eye of the storm' is Federico Valverde because Alex Baena categorically denied what was previously expressed, through a message posted on his social networks.
"Last Saturday I was assaulted by a fellow professional after the match against Real Madrid. Following the incident, statements made by his circle came to light in which they said I had wished the pain of a family member. Since then, no evidence has been published to prove the accusations against me", explained the Villarreal footballer.
"An adversity was taken advantage of to justify an assault and there are lies that hurt more than blows. My family is being harmed with threats, insults, and even private messages wishing death to my family. Yesterday, I reported the case to the police. Let justice do its work", Alex Baena concluded.
