Aurélien Tchouaméni has moved to put to rest speculation about an alleged altercation with Real Madrid teammate Federico Valverde last season, describing the incident as nothing more than a minor matter.

The France international dismissed suggestions that any serious confrontation took place in the club's dressing room, insisting there was no fight between the two players.

Reports of tension between Tchouaméni and Valverde had circulated in recent months, but the Real Madrid midfielder made clear that the episode had been blown far out of proportion.
