Madrid’s dressing-room story has moved beyond rumour, with Aurélien Tchouaméni acknowledging that there were problems inside Real Madrid while firmly rejecting claims that he struck Federico Valverde.
A dispute magnified outside the club
- Tchouaméni, the French midfielder, denied having hit Valverde during the reported confrontation.
- He nevertheless confirmed that difficulties had existed in the Real Madrid dressing room.
- The midfielder said the episode had taken on an “absolutely crazy media dimension”.
- Images of Valverde emerged after the controversy involving the Uruguay international and Tchouaméni.
The episode has placed two of Madrid’s midfield figures under an unwelcome spotlight, with the discussion around an internal matter rapidly extending beyond the club’s training ground.
