It has been claimed that this was second time that Beana had made those remarks to Valverde, having reportedly said something during a Copa del Rey encounter in January.
Villarreal released a statement on Sunday night claiming Baena has lodged a complaint with Police after the incident.
"Villarreal CF player Alex Baena was assaulted last night while on his way to the team bus after the match against Real Madrid CF at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium," the statement read.
"Faced with this situation, the player has decided to file a complaint against the aggressor with the police. Once again, Villarreal CF rejects any act of violence and firmly believes in the player's version of events and will support him throughout this process."
The Villarreal star also broke his silence on the matter and insists he did not say anything about Valverde's unborn child.
"Very happy with the impressive victory of the team in a stage like the Santiago Bernabeu," he wrote on Instagram.
"But at the same time very sad for the aggression I suffered after the match and surprised by what is being said about me. It is totally untrue that I said that."
