When we play bad its easy to say arbeloa has no clue whats going on and all that shit but in reality, in these games when the opponent is not just camping in the box, he knows what to do and how to open them up, not just fede’s goals but overall also they were so good in creating chances and all…

This is beautiful positional play. And big kudos to Brahim! He unlocked that defence, created the space and found the space!!!!

The pass was actually not the best option. The correct pass would have been a ground ball around the defender.
But Fede cleaned it up with a magic touch. One of those plays where imperfection creates magic.

Valverde reminds me a lot of players like Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard not in terms of leadership, but in terms of versatility.
