Fede Valverde’s wife Mina Bonino deletes post slating Carlo Ancelotti for fear of being 'arrested' - but Real Madrid boss still issues strong response

LaLiga

Real Madrid

<p>Bonino was upset after her husband was taken off at half-time in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-ac-milan-kylian-mbappe/blt4f0e0c1cf54a3fde" target="_blank">Real Madrid's 3-1 defeat to AC Milan</a> in the Champions League. In a season that is proving to be a tactical headache for Ancelotti, the Uruguayan midfielder started on the right of a four-man midfield, a decision that also irritated Bonino as she took to social media to vent her frustration.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ancelotti has a number of concerns after suffering back-to-back defeats. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-never-no-9-carlo-ancelotti-told-held-prisoner-by-real-madrid-striker-bench-champions-league-ac-milan/blt044d9101f65b712f" target="_blank">Kylian Mbappe is struggling as a No.9</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jude-bellingham-told-every-right-upset-with-kylian-mbappe-thierry-henry-real-madrid-no-9-do-way-more/blt4b24225446d53cb2" target="_blank">Jude Bellingham isn't nearly as effective</a> this season, and the defence has allowed nine goals in three games, causing the Italian to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/carlo-ancelotti-responds-kylian-mbappe-disrupted-harmony-real-madrid-dressing-room-champions-league-ac-milan/bltcc0b73b43f56d27d" target="_blank">admit that he's "worried"</a> about his side. The media and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-outplayed-every-single-team-nightmare-season-3-1-milan-champions-league/bltd666acdeac059823" target="_blank">fans are already piling on</a> and now Bonino has added to the list of critics.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Bonino wrote on X: “I have to close this (X) down, it’s better because I’ll be arrested."</p><p>Someone suggested to Bonino that it might have been a tactical decision, to which she replied: "Brother, where Fede plays best is as a pivot. What are you talking about? Hahaha when will they f*cking understand for once and for all that Fede is not a winger?”</p>

WHAT VALVERDE'S WIFE SAID

<p>In his post-match press conference, Ancelotti said he decided to replace the Uruguay international as he was struggling with a back injury.</p><p>“Opining on what people think on social media is very complicated," he said. "I removed him because he was not at 100%, he had a problem with his back. It seemed like he had recovered because yesterday he trained well, but it seemed to me that he was not in his best physical condition; that’s why I changed him."</p><p>Bonino later deleted her post.</p>

ANCELOTTI EXPLAINS VALVERDE SUBSTITUTION

<p>Lying 17th in the Champions League league phase and nine points behind Barcelona at the top of La Liga, Real Madrid will hope to get their season back on track when they host Osasuna on Saturday.</p>
