Both players will pay a hefty sum for their actions.
Details: Today, on Real Madrid's official X social media page, the club announced that measures have been taken against Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni following their locker room altercation.
It is reported that Tchouaméni and Valverde met today and apologized to each other and to the club for their behavior. Real Madrid will not impose disciplinary sanctions, but each player will be fined 500,000 euros.
Tchouaméni and Valverde admitted their fault to the club and accepted the punishment without contest, effectively bringing this scandal to a close.
This Sunday, Real Madrid will face Barcelona at Camp Nou, and the Galácticos' fans see the reconciliation gesture from both players as a positive sign ahead of El Clásico.
