Valverde, who could no longer tolerate Vázquez’s repeated catastrophic errors throughout the season, exploded in anger after the match, harshly rebuking him in front of his teammates and directly holding him responsible for the defeat and the loss of a crucial opportunity to secure the La Liga title.
The tension didn’t end there, as the newspaper reported that Valverde issued a clear ultimatum to the board: “Either Vázquez leaves next summer, or I will be the one to go.” This shocking threat points to a potential internal crisis that could destabilize the royal club as the season draws to a close.
