Mina Bonino (32), wife of Fede Valverde (27), the one who he fought with his colleague Aurelien Tchouameni Real Madrid's dressing room, published a series of images with her husband, then lashed out at those who asked her what the footballer was hiding, since he was wearing a cap.
On Thursday, two of Real Madrid's big men, Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, got into a fight in the dressing room. Most publications close to the club, with sources in the dressing room, wrote that Valverde would have provoked the French colleague until he lost his temper and punched him. In the physical dispute, Valverde fell and hit his head on a table, being taken to hospital.
Both players were fined 500,000 euros each by the club, but despite what was written in the press, the Valverde family insists that there was no fight.
Valverde's wife published photos of him after the fight with Tchouameni
On Friday, the footballer's wife, Mina Bonino, published photos of her husband attending what appears to be a celebration of one of their boys. Federico was wearing a cap, which caused several comments and questions on social media.

For example, journalist-influencer Iñaki Angulo likened Valverde's wife's posts to “proof of life”: “There is a thing, in the case of kidnappings, called proof of life.” And he added: “Come on, post one with today's paper,” a tongue-in-cheek call to prove the photos were indeed from Friday.
Valverde's wife saw the post and ranted:
“I'm tired of these people. I'm tired of being talked about with impunity. What else should be done? What more evidence do you want? It's all just to see who has it bigger! And I'm doing this publicly because I wanted to solve it in private, but people are two-faced; they get along with me, but then they throw shit, going so far as to say they sell pictures on OnlyFans.
Talking, slandering and defaming people has consequences. And don't forget, it's not a man who takes on a footballer's wife, six months pregnant, to vent his personal hatred.
I'm tired, bro. I should be concerned about the health of the baby, because I suffered enough three years ago, and now, through no fault of my own, I have to put up with a guy who constantly criticizes me without any sense. It's over, there has to be a limit.”
Fede Valverde's wife: “The cut is not the result of any punch, because THERE WASN'T one”
Then, referring to her husband, she insisted that Valverde and Tchouameni did not fight:
“He hit his head, he's wearing a cap. A cut that is not noticeable with the cap and is not the result of any punch, because there WASN'T one. It is the result of the strike, everyone has already said it.
What else do you want to believe? You want to see blood, you won't see it here. This is MY Instagram, it's MY family and I have absolutely nothing to say or clarify because IT'S NOT MY OBLIGATION. Leave me alone.”
Finally, Valverde's wife proved that the photos were taken on Friday
