Fede Valverde shows scar from Tchouameni clash ahead of captaincy

Fede Valverde displayed a scar on his forehead, believed to be from a fight with Aurelien Tchouameni during a training session. The altercation, which occurred last month, resulted in both players being fined and Valverde being hospitalized with a concussion. This incident highlighted divisions within the Real Madrid dressing room, although both players have moved on. Valverde has recently been appointed captain after Dani Carvajal's departure, expressing pride in leading the team he loves.
