Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde has apologised after his red-card challenge on Álvaro Morata in the Spanish Supercopa. Deep into extra-time, with the game tied at 0-0, the forward was running through on goal before he was cynically brought down by the Uruguayan. ‘That was the only thing left for me to do, I tried other things but it didn’t work out, he is a very fast player,’ admitted the 21-year-old. Real Madrid went on to win 4-1 on penalties

Warta madrid tv youtuber incredible
What can he do. He is real Madrid player and it is in their blood
He took one for the team👏🇪🇸⚪
Nothing wrong with this it is football
We all do it in fifa hahahah..I would've done the same..👍👍
He sacrificed himself, He is the best.
He is the best. he sacrificed himself for the team he deserves to get best player of the year!(HERO)
Imagine if suarez had done this smh. Hypocritical fans
He’s honest that what matters!
I wouldn’t have apologized. I would have admitted it was bad but I’d do it again if I had to 😂😂😂
Atletico fan here:
Valverde doesn't need to apologise, this is football, win first and worry about the press later. Great of him to be decent and offer an apology but simeone, morata and the rest of the Atletico side will not be upset by this.
I will say that real madrid fans are the worst, if a barca or an atletico player does this, they are the worst. Valverde does it and they want to build him a statue 🤔
He fouled and got red card. Thats it.
Who cares for fairplay? They make a unfair player a hero for a foul to win a title. When kids see that they will say, it is okay to be unfair as long as my team wins. Bad rolemodels, but thats normal in a corrupt and egoistic bloody football business!
He's playing for real madrid, its pretty much a given these lots wont play fair.
Someone should have busted his balls too.
I would that
Fede did for team you are our hero,you save us
