Villarreal midfielder Alex Baena says he is very sad about the aggression after allegedly being attacked by Real Madrid s Federico Valverde following Saturday s match.
Baena played a full part in the LaLiga contest at the Santiago Bernabeu and assisted Samuel Chukwueze s late goal as Villarreal stunned Madrid 3-2.
According to widespread reports, the Spain Under-21 international was involved in a heated confrontation with Valverde shortly after the game.
It is alleged that Valverde punched Baena in retaliation to derogatory remarks the latter made about his unborn child in a previous encounter between the sides.
Villarreal are said to have the incident recorded and are discussing the next steps with local police.
Xisco Nadal, a team delegate for Villarreal, said in a now-deleted tweet: Fede Valverde, loutish and cowardly.
