Valverde puts Real Madrid 'on his back' to deliver vital win
"Fede is everything a Real Madrid player should be. He has the spirit of [club legend] Juanito. He has that quality which the great players in our history have had, and today he carried the team on his back."
"There's no better way to celebrate 124 years of the best club in the world. Real Madrid, fighting against everything and everyone. We have to celebrate it, for how the players fought."
"There's a lot of league left, a lot of points. Every game will be a battle ... Let's hope [it's the kind of win that wins you leagues]. It shows us the way."
Real Madrid defeated Celta Vigo 2-1 with Federico Valverde scoring a deflected strike in the 94th minute to secure victory. Aurélien Tchouaméni opened scoring in the 11th minute, but Borja Iglesias equalized for the home side. The win came after Madrid suffered back-to-back defeats, narrowing the gap to league leaders Barcelona to just one point. Álvaro Arbeloa praised Valverde's performance, describing him as embodying the qualities of great Real Madrid players. The coach also highlighted the contributions of young players Thiago Pitarch, César Palacios, and Manuel Ángel, who featured despite nine first-team players being unavailable through injury and suspension.
