🤯 Valverde continues ludicrous form with clutch Madrid derby goal | OneFootball

In the absence of Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham, another Real Madrid star needed to step up during Sunday's derby against rivals Atletico.

So that's exactly what Fede Valverde did. 

The Uruguayan continues to be in ludicrous form, and bagged yet another goal to turn the score on its head to temporarily make it 2-1 after Vinicius Junior's penalty. Both goals arrived within a five-minute spell.

Valverde remained alert near the box, sprung forward with his impressive strides to jump on the ball, and scored with a trivela finish.

It means he now has a staggering 16 goal contributions (eight goals and eight assists) through only 20 games in 2026. 

Here's a reminder that he's a midfielder!

However, with 77 minutes on the clock, the Uruguayan was shown red for a challenge on Álex Baena.
