New Delhi: Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde claimed limelight as he blasted home a stoppage-time winner to hand Los Blancos a thrilling 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in their La Liga clash at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday. Once again, Carlo Ancelotti’s side needed late heroics to keep their title defence alive and stay in the race with leaders Barcelona, being only four points short of them on the table.
Real Madrid were left frustrated throughout the clash as Athletic didn’t bring any loose game to them, but Valverde was able to salvage a victory for the home side, leading their fans into a frenzy. It looked almost imminent that the Blancos were settling for a point due to an utterly disappointing performance in the forward areas, but Valverde’s goal, which was a half-volley and another fine strike in his shining catalogue, was enough to keep Madrid in the title race.
