According to Softfootball, Federico Valverde has spoken candidly about Real Madrid CF’s difficult moments this season, admitting the team endured serious challenges before reclaiming top spot in La Liga.
Valverde said:
We’ve had weeks where we had to swallow a lot of sh*t. We’ve been through bad moments and that matured us as players. The dressing room has always been united. It’s been a tough year as a captain. I feel responsible when things aren’t going well.
His comments were confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on his official X handle.
