Villarreal player Alejandro Bana filed a police complaint against Real Madrid player Federico Valverde, after the latter beat and assaulted him at the end of the game between Real Madrid and Villarreal on Saturday night.
To recall, according to reports in Spain, Valverde was furious with the opposing player who allegedly teased him about a painful affair: the complications of his wife's pregnancy.
Valverde's violent attack made headlines all day yesterday in Spain, and in the end Bana decided to file a complaint with the police, after a long debate on how to act against the Real Madrid midfielder.
Bana denied what was attributed to him and claimed that he did not say the mean things he allegedly said to Valverde.
Either way, this means that Valverde will not be punished in a sporting context and will not receive suspension penalties, but he may be investigated by the police.

Bana filed a complaint about the incident, Valverde's wife responded in an emotional post
Villarreal, which chose not to file a complaint against the player, issued a statement: "The team player was attacked while on the way to the team bus outside the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, and the player decided to file a police complaint against the attacker. Villarreal condemns any type of violence, and we undoubtedly believe our player's claims, And we will support him throughout the process."
Public opinion was undoubtedly on Valverde's side, with the general public expressing understanding and empathy for the player who attacked his opponent following vile comments ("cry now, because your son was not born").
Valverde was seen yesterday in Madrid telling the fans who supported him and justified him "It's not me", and "I'm not proud".
His associates say they were surprised: "He's a good boy, he's never been involved in any incident, he doesn't fight with players, he doesn't argue with the referees, apparently Bana really pissed him off."
