“Yesterday, I had an incident with a teammate during a training session. Fatigue from competition and frustration made everything seem bigger than it really was. In a normal dressing room, these things happen and are usually resolved within the team without becoming public.”
“Clearly, someone is spreading rumors and, in a trophyless season where Real Madrid is always under scrutiny, everything gets exaggerated. Today we had another disagreement. During the argument, I accidentally hit a table, causing a small cut on my forehead that required a routine visit to the hospital.”
“At no moment did my teammate hit me, nor did I hit him. I feel that the anger and frustration over the situation, seeing some of us fighting until the end of the season and giving everything we have, pushed me to the point of arguing with a teammate.”
“I am sorry. I sincerely feel very sorry because this situation hurts me, and the moment we are going through is painful.”
“Real Madrid is one of the most important things in my life, and I cannot be indifferent toward it. All of this is the result of many accumulated emotions that exploded into a meaningless conflict, damaging my image and leaving room for doubts and speculation.”
“I did not want to speak until the end of the season. We were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, and I kept the anger and disappointment inside me.”
“We have lost another year, and I did not feel capable of posting on social media because the only face I needed to show was the one on the pitch — and I feel that I have done that. That is why I am the saddest and most hurt person in this situation, which prevents me from playing the next match due to medical decisions.”
“I have always given my maximum until the very end, and it hurts me more than anyone that I cannot do that now. I am available to the club and my teammates to cooperate with any decision they consider necessary. Thank you.”
