Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde has broken his silence over the clash with Villarreal's Alex Baena on Saturday.

Valverde was impressive in their Champions League win against Chelsea amid a police complaint after he allegedly struck Baena on Saturday.

It's claimed Valverde thumped Baena in the Santiago Bernabeu carpark after previous taunts about his unborn child - claims that Baena has denied.

Yes, I am mentally better," Valverde said to Golazo de Gol.

He also explained that he has relied "on the family, on the people of Madrid and those who support me on the street" and wanted to thank them for that support.

He was speaking at Valdebebas this morning.
