Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde, Real Madrid
2 June 2026
Aurelien Tchouameni dismissed reports about his training-ground clash with Federico Valverde, calling the coverage nonsense. Real Madrid had fined both players after a heated incident that led to Valverde suffering a forehead cut during an argument.
Tchouameni said the situation was exaggerated and insisted life goes on inside the squad. Valverde had also denied physical violence, explaining that frustration during training caused the argument to spiral beyond its real meaning publicly.
