La Liga president Javier Tebas criticized Federico Valverde for punching Alex Baena in the face.
"This is a bad deed. Provocation is a mitigating circumstance, but not an excuse. The commission to combat violence, as we expected, has officially taken up this case and will make the necessary decision," said the president of La Liga.
We will remind that after the match between "Real" and "Villarreal" Federico Valverde waited at the bus stop for Alex Baena and hit the Spaniard in the face. The Uruguayan did this because the 21-year-old midfielder made offensive comments about Valverde's family, in particular about his unborn son. Alex Baena filed a police report.
