Real Madrid star breaks personal record during Elche clash | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Federico Valverde has on Saturday set a new personal benchmark.

This comes owing to his exploits in Los Blancos’ latest outing.

Real are of course currently locked in action, hopeful of closing the gap on table-topping Barcelona in a La Liga meeting with Elche.

As things stand, Álvaro Arbeloa’s troops are headed towards precisely that, leading by two goals to nil.

And the aforementioned Fede Valverde, in the midst of a scintillating spell of individual form, has played a central role once more.

On the stroke of the interval, the Uruguayan bent a wonderful effort home from the edge of the penalty area, to put Real Madrid two goals to the good.

This comes fresh off a historic match-winning hat-trick for Valverde in midweek.

And as alluded to above, such exploits have this evening given rise to some personal history for the all-action midfielder.

As per a report from statisticians Opta:

‘Federico Valverde has been involved in 21 goals in 46 matches for Real Madrid this season across all competitions (nine goals and 12 assists), his highest tally in a single campaign with the club.’
