In a candid showdown between Real Madrid and Benfica in the UEFA Champions League knockout round, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius-jr">Vinicius Jr</a>. and Gianluca Prestianni stole the spotlight with a controversial incident, which activated the protocol against racist behavior. After the game, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/federico-valverde">Federico Valverde</a> dropped a bold statement, taking shots at both the Argentinian player and UEFA.



“What [Prestianni] said is unclear, but according to my teammates close by, he said an ugly word. Something that mustn’t be said. Personally, I think it’s shameful,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> star Valverde told reporters after the game. “The fact no camera caught what he said is appalling, too. If you cover your mouth to speak, it’s because what you’re saying is not right. I’m proud of Vini and my teammates for standing up for him.”



After scoring the game’s lone goal with a beautiful shot into the top corner, Vinicius Jr. was caught in the eye of the storm. First, he celebrated by dancing in front of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/benfica">Benfica</a> fans, which caused the home players to go after him. 



<h2>Chaos in Real Madrid’s visit to Benfica</h2>



Amid the turmoil, Prestianni covered his mouth and allegedly insulted Vinicius Jr. who immediately raced to the referee and called for the UEFA <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a>‘s racist behavior protocol to be activated.

Following Real Madrid’s commanding 5-1 Champions League victory over Red Bull Salzburg at the Santiago Bernabeu, and ahead of their upcoming La Liga clash with Valladolid, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlo-ancelotti">Carlo Ancelotti</a> was full of praise for a versatile player in his team. He highlighted the Uruguayan Federico Valverde’s ability to adapt seamlessly to multiple roles on the field.



Addressing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/federico-valverde">Valverde</a>’s recent stint as a right-back against Salzburg and the likelihood of him playing a different role against Valladolid, Ancelotti didn’t hold back in expressing his admiration.



“He’s a complete player, incredibly important. He can cover many positions and performs perfectly in all of them,” Ancelotti said in a press conference after training. “As a pivot, as an interior midfielder, as a right-back—it’s very difficult to find a right-back like him. For me, it’s complicated to decide his best position based on the team’s needs”.



Ancelotti continued, “It’s possible that in one match we need him as a right-back and in another as a pivot. It’s a choice I have to make, and he’s always completely available—he never asks for anything. That’s also his strength. He’s undoubtedly the most complete player in soccer right now”.

<h2>Valverde as a central defender?</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> has dealt with defensive issues this season, particularly in the center-back position, due to a string of injuries. Speculation swirled in late 2024 about a potential move for Tottenham defender Cristian Romero during the winter transfer window, that never happened.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/real-madrids-jude-bellingham-matches-lionel-messi-in-stunning-champions-league-statistic"></div>

 

 


However, Ancelotti dismissed the need for reinforcements, emphasizing his trust in youth academy product Raúl Asencio del Rosario to pair with Rudiger. The coach also hinted that Valverde could step in as a center-back if required. “I say he could even play as a central defender without any problem,” Ancelotti remarked about Valverde’s versatility.



<h2>Valverde’s impact at Real Madrid</h2>



Federico Valverde has become an indispensable figure at Real Madrid. Not only has he captained the team on occasion, but he was also named the club’s fourth captain for the 2025 season, behind Lucas Vázquez, Dani Carvajal, and Luka Modric.



Since joining Real Madrid, Valverde has made 291 appearances, scoring 29 goals and providing 27 assists. His trophy cabinet is equally impressive, featuring numerous major honors:



<ul><li>2x UEFA Champions League (2021/22, 2023/24)</li><li>3x La Liga (2019/20, 2021/22, 2023/24)</li><li>Intercontinental Cup (2023/24)</li><li>3x Spanish Super Cup (2019/20, 2021/22, 2023/24)</li><li>2x FIFA Club World Cup (2019, 2023)</li><li>2x UEFA Super Cup (2022/23, 2024/25)</li><li>1x Copa del Rey (2022/23)</li></ul>



Valverde’s ability to excel in multiple roles on the pitch and his leadership qualities make him one of the most valuable players in world soccer today.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> are under fire after their last two defeats against Barcelona in El Clásico (0-4) and AC Milan (1-3) in the Champions League, both at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, among the critics, there’s one unexpected voice. Mina Bonino, Fede Valverde’s wife, slammed Carlo Ancelotti for his tactics during the match against the Italian club.



On her private X (formerly Twitter) account, Bonino, who is a TV presenter, first expressed her frustration, writing, “I have to close this because, If not, I’m going to end up in jail.” Her comment came after Valverde was subbed off at the start of the first half, being replaced by Eduardo Camavinga, when Madrid was 1-2 down.



To that comment, someone replied, “It’s just a tactical change, Mina, don’t give it any more thought. How the match is going, Modric can’t be replaced.” Here was when Bonino didn’t hold back, responding: “Brother, Fede plays better as a pivot… When the f*** are you going to understand that he is not a winger?”



After the match, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carlo-ancelotti">Ancelotti</a> was asked about Bonino’s comments on social media. “Valverde’s wife’s words on X? It’s difficult to give an opinion on what people write on social media. I changed Valverde because he wasn’t 100%,” he told the press, keeping things diplomatically.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20241106_BUS_267297_ancelotti-1024x576_374e7756.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="carlo ancelotti looks on" class="wp-image-267402" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/ancelotti-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/ancelotti-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/ancelotti-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/ancelotti-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/ancelotti-740x416.jpg 740w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/ancelotti-490x275.jpg 490w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/ancelotti-250x140.jpg 250w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/ancelotti.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Carlo Ancelotti looks on during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD4 ( Florencia Tan Jun/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Ancelotti also said that the Uruguayan had “suffered a problem in his back days ago. He wasn’t fine in the first half.” According to Mundo Deportivo, Bonino deleted the posts claiming that she was “hacked.” Meanwhile, Valverde didn’t comment publicly on the posts.


 


<h2>Madrid’s terrible week and Ancelotti’s worry</h2>



Real Madrid’s defeat to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ac-milan">Milan</a> showcased that the team is in a poor state of form. While, yes, missing key players such as Dani Carvajal and Thibaut Courtois, but players such as Jude Bellingham also seemed lost in the pitch.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/highest-paid-coaches-in-soccer"></div>


“We have to be worried,” Ancelotti admitted, “We’re lacking something.” While Ancelotti’s run with Madrid has been extremely successful, rumors of “concern” among the club’s leadership have already started to swirl. However, Ancelotti is clear:



“Every year there are hard moments when you have to hang on, fight, suffer. We have to suffer together. What’s not so normal is that this team had a very good run and has fallen so fast. But that is part of football too: when you think everything is perfect, you fall. The good thing about football is that we have another game in our stadium soon where we can go back to being the team we were last year.”

No player has won so much at such a young age than Julián Álvarez, winner of Copa Libertadores, UEFA Champions League, Copa America, Club World Cup, and the FIFA World Cup are just some of his accolades. Julián Álvarez is also a skilled striker who could be on the move in search of more playing time at the club level.

Federico Valverde admitted on Monday he refused to take a penalty for Real Madrid in the shootout victory against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-city">Manchester City</a> in the second leg of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.



“I was not ready to take a penalty vs Man City, I was tired,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/federico-valverde">Valverde</a> said at a press conference ahead of the first leg of the semifinals against Bayern Munich, via @theMadridZone. “Sometimes you have to put your ego aside and be honest. When I went to bed, I felt regret. I’ll work hard to not be put in this situation again.”



Carlo Ancelotti revealed after the game that Eder Militao thought it wasn’t a good idea for him to take a penalty because Ederson knows him very well from the Brazilian national team.



Marca later reported Valverde was the other <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> player who didn’t want to be part of the shootout, and as the Uruguayan recently admitted, it turned out to be true. The midfielder was exhausted after a long series that went to extra time.

Luka Modric, who came off the bench, missed the first penalty but Madrid went on to win as Jude Bellingham, Lucas Vazquez, Nacho, and Antonio Rudiger all found the net. Of course, Andriy Lunin played a key role in the win by making two saves.

<h2>Real Madrid’s impressive dominance in the Champions League</h2>



Real Madrid have made the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> semifinals for the 12th time in the last 14 editions. In this period, they’ve failed to get past the round of 16 just twice: in 2018-19 against Ajax and 2019-20 against Manchester City.



Of their last 11 semifinal ties, Los Blancos won six and went home on five occasions. And they lifted the trophy every time they made the final in the last few years, adding five titles to their collection.



Real Madrid are by far the most successful team in Champions League history with 14 titles to their name. Milan are second in the all-time European champions list with seven, followed by Bayern and Liverpool with six titles.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-modric" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luka Modric</a> is not the favorite player among <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Real Madrid</a> fans nowadays. The midfielder’s revelation of voting for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a> in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/the-best" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Best</a> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fifa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FIFA</a> 2023 has left the Merengues furious with their own player.



FIFA has crowned Lionel Messi as the best player of 2023. Captains, coaches, media, and fans collectively bestowed this recognition, adding another individual award to the Argentine forward’s illustrious career.



One of the players who voted for Messi as the best player is Luka Modric, the captain of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/croatia" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Croatia</a>. However, Real Madrid fans are not very happy with his decision, severely judging him for supporting the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Barcelona</a> forward.



<h2>Luka Modric receives high criticism for voting Messi in The Best 2023</h2>



Lionel Messi has secured yet another individual award. The captain of Argentina was honored as The Best of 2023, a recognition where players, fans, coaches, and media collectively choose the standout player throughout the entire year.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240115#BUS#98122"></div>


National team captains submit a list of three names each for the top coaches and players. FIFA employs this voting method to enhance fairness, allowing those deeply involved in soccer to choose the best representatives of the sport.



Luka Modric, Real Madrid’s midfielder, took on the responsibility of submitting Croatia’s vote as the captain of the national team. While players from the country contribute to the selection, the captain serves as the representative for FIFA.



Unfortunately for Modric, his compatriots voted for a former Barcelona player: Lionel Messi. The Argentine forward claimed the top spot on the list, followed by Rodri in second place and Marcelo Brozovic in third.



Even though Modric was not the only Croatian to vote, Real Madrid fans are furious with him. On social media, they slammed the midfielder for supporting Messi, and some even want him to leave the club because of it.

Federico Valverde, the captain of Uruguay, also faced severe judgment from Real Madrid fans as Lionel Messi topped his list too. It is evident that the Merengues haven’t forgotten Messi’s time at Barcelona and the intense rivalry with the Blaugranas.



<h2>Why did Lionel Messi win The Best 2023 when he was tied with Erling Haaland?</h2>



Lionel Messi and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/erling-haaland" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Erling Haaland</a> both secured 48 points in The Best 2023. Captains and fans deemed the Argentine the best, while the Norwegian won the hearts of coaches and the media.





The tiebreaker to determine the winner relied on the number of five-point scores, awarded by men’s national team captains. Messi secured a total of 107, surpassing Haaland who had 64.

It’s not any secret that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> hope to sign <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> at some point. However, no one thought this transfer could happen this summer, since the Frenchman was expected to stay at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> at least for another season.



In a shocking turn of events, the striker could be on the move only a year after re-signing for Paris Saint-Germain. Mbappe let the club know he doesn’t intend to trigger the option for a further year, which means he could become a free agent in 2024.



That’s why Madrid may have the opportunity to sign him now, since PSG prefer to get something in return rather than losing him for free next year. But since Mbappe’s price tag won’t come cheap, the Spanish giants may be considering cashing in for a starter.



<h2>Report: Real Madrid could sell Valverde or Tchouameni</h2>



According to Juan Ignacio G-Ochoa on Radio Marca, Real Madrid would consider selling either Federico Valverde or Aurelien Tchouameni to raise funds for a potential Mbappe transfer.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230707#BUS#25000"></div>


The LaLiga giants reportedly believe they could get between €80 million and €100 million for any of them, which would facilitate a move for the French international. Though PSG haven’t set their price yet, it’s believed they could demand nearly €200 million for the 24-year-old.

“Do I have to go out and explain when they told me that my pregnancy could not continue? We kept quiet for almost two months, waiting for the results to find out if we could continue or not, already having FIVE months of pregnancy… The limit reaches the pain of the other person and I had enough so that they come to question me about the dates about the health of the son that I am expecting. And despite everything, from the bottom of my heart, I do not wish anyone to have to go through a situation similar (to me). It is the last thing I am going to put, but for me it is torture to relive this and question dates and news. But it was already public that something was happening with my pregnancy, “ Bonino finished after retweeting a Marca article.

Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde to have charges pressed after punching Villarreal's Álex Baena

Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde to have charges pressed after punching Villarreal's Álex Baena - Bolavip US

This Saturday saw<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Not-Chelsea-Jose-Mourinho-offered-massive-120m-pay-deal-and-possible-Cristiano-Ronaldo-reunion-20230407-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a> play host to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-10-records-liverpool-broke-by-reaching-the-2021-2022-uefa-champions-league-final-20220504-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Villarreal</a> at Santiago Bernabeu. Samuel Chukwueze scored with less than ten minutes remaining to upset Carlo Ancelotti’s squad 3-2. After the game, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/federico-valverde-real-madrid-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-year-20221027-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federico Valverde</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/How-could-La-Liga-punish-Real-Madrids-Federico-Valverde-after-punching-Villarreals-Alex-Baena-20230409-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alex Baena</a> of the Yellow Submarine got into an altercation, which compounded an already dire position for the Whites.
Baena has been accused of making a remark regarding thepregnancy of Valverde’s wife from earlier this year during their January Copa del Rey match. After the final whistle, the Uruguayanreportedly accosted his21-year-old opponent in the parking lot and punched him, as reported by The Athletic.
The Real Madrid midfielderis alleged to have been angered by comments made by the Villarreal player over this issue during this weekend’s game as well. However, because it happened after the match and outside the field of play, the referee did not include it in his official match report.
<h2>What didMina Bonino say of her husband Federico Valverde’s incident withAlex Baena?</h2>
It was a miracle that the Valverde family made it through the trauma. Neither the midfielder nor Real Madrid havecommented on the situation as of now. In contrast,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-federico-valverde-injures-boss-carlo-ancelotti-during-chelsea-real-madrid-20220406-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mina Bonino</a>, Valverde’s spouse, has resorted to Twitter to express her own views on the matter.
In a touching message,she explained:“Do I have to explain why they told me that my pregnancy could not continue? We were silent for almost two months waiting for the result to know whether or not we could continue, having already five months of pregnancy.
“I have already gone through enough for them to come and question me about my son’s health. Despite everything, from the bottom of my heart, I don’t wish anyone to go through a similar situation.”

Fede Valverde's wife issues heartfelt response after Real Madrid player allegedly strikes Alex Baena

The 3-2 loss to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Ansu-Fatis-father-unleashes-fiery-tirade-against-Barcelona-and-opens-door-for-Real-Madrid-switch-20230329-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Villarreal</a> at the Santiago Bernabeu has put <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Real-Madrids-Carlo-Ancelotti-is-not-even-top-5-The-highest-paid-managers-in-Football-20230331-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a> within striking distance of possible 15 points of La Liga leaders Barcelona in the standings.Carlo Ancelotti’s side took the lead twice, but the Yellow Submarine came back stronger in the second half when Karim Benzema was brought out on the hour to rest.
But the events that followed the game tarnished the experience for many. According to reports, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/federico-valverde-real-madrid-salary-per-hour-day-week-month-year-20221027-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federico Valverde</a> fought Villarreal’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-valverde-and-araujo-try-to-speak-english-as-they-forget-the-barcelona-real-madrid-rivalry-20220725-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alex Baena</a> in the Santiago Bernabeu parking lot since the latter made comments about the Uruguayanpartner’s miscarriage scare earlier this year.
ESPN claims that in theprevious <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Real-Madrid-destroy-Barcelona-4-0-to-reach-Copa-del-Rey-final-Funniest-memes-and-reactions-20230405-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Copa del Rey</a> game,Baena told Valverde, “Cry, because your child won’t be born,” after the Madrid star’s girlfriend Mina Boninowasat risk of losing their second child. Luckily, as it turned out, the infant was perfectly healthy after all
<h2>What kind of punishment doesFederico Valverdeface from La Liga?</h2>
The 24-year-old Uruguayan international has revealed to Marca that his ‘aggression’ did occur, saying he was responding to similar remarks made during Saturday’s encounter, although Baena has taken the stand to denythe allegations against him.
“Very happy with the impressive victory for the team on a stage like the Santiago Bernabeu, but at the same time very sad about the aggressionI suffered after the match. [I am] surprised by what is being said about my person. It is totally false that I said [comments about Valverde’s family]”, he took to Twitter to write.

Despite the fact that the event was seen by many people and video of it reportedly exists, Valverdemaynot be held sportingly accountable for his actions. Assaults of this kind may result in suspensions of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Not-like-at-PSG-Lionel-Messi-sent-clear-message-by-ex-Barcelona-as-to-where-he-will-be-respected-20230408-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">four to 12 games</a>, depending on the severity of the event, but the referee did not include this in his report, so possible action can notbe taken until a formal complaint is filed.
Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivoclaims that the event was not recorded in the referee’s official match report, but Villarreal have confirmed that the Spanish police have been notifiedabout Fede Valverde’s alleged attack. Since Baena has chosen against reporting Valverde to the Spanish Competition Committee, he will not be facing any form of sports ban.

Although Valverde has quickly become a fan favorite for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/real-madrid-top-goalscorers-all-time-20201112-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Liga winners</a>, he was previously relatively unknown.

<h2>The rise of Federico Valverde</h2>
Federico Valverde was nothing more than a prospect in Uruguay playing only 12 matches for Peñarol, but had shown very well on the Uruguay youth squads, scoring 11 goals in 24 games for the U-17’s.
Valverde played most of his career in central midfield as a more defensive minded player. Former Uruguay coach Óscar Washington Tabárez admitted in a 2017 interview that Valverde was a very shy child during the youth ranks. According to Tabárez, Valverde worked very hard to overcome being timid, basically he would not speak from his shyness.

With Real Madrid, Valverde would find his creative touch under Ancelotti, assisting on a goal in the Champions League final and scoring spectacular goals from outside the box, which has become his trademark.
What has surprised many is seeing the Uruguayan play on the wings where he has been very comfortable and decisive in the Real Madrid attack. Ancelotti stated after their Champions League victory against Red Bull Leipzig, “(Valverde) is showing all his quality. He is not only dynamic but, in his ability, to get to the rival’s box.”
“I told him if he can score more than 10 goals this season, I will tear up my manager’s license. He has a rock in his foot!” Ancelotti joked.
Valverde at the moment has three goals in eight matches this season and at 22 has 156 games and 9 goals for Real Madrid and has won 7 championships at the club.
Valverde could be one of the best young players at the 2022 World Cup for Uruguay who also have a formidable team to look out for in Qatar 2022.
