The Uruguayan Fede Valverde He admitted that Manchester City “play better football” than his team, but they are “Real Madrid” and that they know how to “suffer, work and pride and determination.”
“Madrid is always there. Obviously the rival came better and played better football than us, but we were Real Madrid. We showed our face, not playing in the best way, but fighting,” he told Movistar+.
“We have done a job that we planned, until the goal. But mentally it’s behind you and it’s rude. In addition to physically exhausting you, running after the ball kills your head. But you have to know how to suffer, work, and pride and determination; these moments are necessary,” he added.
Besides, Valverde praised the game of the goalkeeper Luna and the midfielder Bellingham.
“It was an incredible job by everyone. Congratulations to Lunin, who was criticized for a play in the first leg that could have happened to anyone. He brought out his character. “He showed that he is up to the task of being the goalkeeper of Real Madrid,” he said.
“Congratulations to each of the teammates, who adapted to the situation. There are teammates who are more outstanding attackers, but today they did an incredible job. Jude fought until the last minute. He had courage to take the punishment; “He is a mature player and a brave man,” he declared.
