Barcelona’s Gavi didn’t hesitate, openly questioning Real Madrid and Álvaro Arbeloa’s handling of the Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchoucaméni’s incident and saying that if they came to blows or hands were thrown, then the manager “made a mistake” letting the Frenchman play in El Clásico.
Valverde and Tchouaméni’s reported physical altercation left the Uruguayan with a traumatic brain injury, and the rift has stolen headlines since early May. Valverde has since come out to say Tchouaméni and him never came to blows, but he still missed the clash against Barcelona due to the injury he suffered during the dispute.
