“Very happy with the impressive victory of the team on a stage like the Santiago Bernabéu, but at the same time very sad for the aggression I suffered after the game and surprised by what is said about me. It is completely wrong that I do that said.” ‘ he said on his Instagram account.
Despite not having defended himself yet, Valverde is expected to decide what happened outside the complex in the next few hours.
