Watch: Fede Valverde runs from own half to fire Real Madrid equaliser into top corner

Real Madrid found themselves a goal down at the Santiago Bernabeu, in the sweltering Madrid sun this lunchtime. Enter Fede Valverde.

Opponents Real Mallorca had been holding Los Blancos at bay very well, conceding no clear chances to the Real Madrid attack of Rodrygo Goes, Eden Hazard and Vinicius Junior.

They then went ahead, with Vedat Muriqi left unmarked at the back post during a set-piece. The giant Kosovan made no mistake with his header.

It looked as if the islanders had done enough to get to half-time. In stoppage time however, a Mallorca attack broke down, leaving Valverde about 30 yards from his own goal.

 

The Uruguayan then went on a remarkable run, taking on all comers, before rocketing the ball into the top corner – with his wrong foot.

A tense and heated first half, Real Madrid will have to throw men forward now, making for an intriguing second half.

  1. Great game Eden.

    Did he have a succesful dribble? Did he even have a shot at target? What is his role in this team? His stats suggest he isnt a striker, same for playmaker. Is he a second striker (without the first on pitch)?

    In before some journo iIIiterate proclaims he had a great game.

    Remember, he was missing in action against a team thats placed 13th on table and who have scraped together 5 pts in 4 games.

    Why is he being played when we have Mariano?

    1. On the other hand, I loved what I saw from Ceballos. Worked hard to win balls back and was very active in both offense and defense.

    2. I don understand REAL MADRID we have many player that have not play for Los Blancos right now, they re on bench why.

      1. Our president is embarrased over Hazard debace and is forcing Ancelotti to play him in hope he will somehow by a miracle of God, regain form. It wont happen. If he produced nothing in 3 years, he wont produce anything in remaining 2.

        That train has passed. He is a bust, get over it.

        A trident of Vini-Mariano-Rodrygo or Vini-Rodrygo-Asensio is obviously better than any lineup having Hazard in it. But its political… and its sad.

  2. I like REAL MADRID and great job vinicius and rudiger but what is kill eden hazard the goal, he need to know how to score goal to the net, he has 1 goal, 1 assist in championship, but in la liga not.
