Morbidity was tabled in tonight’s Real Madrid-Villarreal at the Bernabéu after it was revealed that Valverde and Baena were starters in their respective teams. The Uruguayan attack against the Spaniard in the same scenario in April is still very fresh in our memory.
Valverde’s punch to Baena in the parking lot due to some alleged disqualifications regarding his future son was not sanctioned despite the fact that the Villarreal player filed a complaint at the police station the day after the episode.
At Villarreal, their coach Marcelino García Toral chose Aissa Mandi in the center of defense, ahead of Jorge Cuenca, and in attack he chose José Luis Morales and put Alexander Sorloth on the bench.
Villarreal’s eleven consists of: Jorgensen; Altimira, Albiol, Mandi, Alfonso Pedraza, Parejo, Capoue, Álex Baena, Ilias Akhomach; Morales and Gerard Moreno.
