Fede Valverde, a midfielder for Real Madrid, was thrilled with the victory over Real Sociedad.

With goals from Valverde and Joselu, the hosts overcame an early Ander Barrenetxea strike to win 2-1.

“We created a lot of chances in the first half, but we couldn’t get the breakthrough,” Valverde later remarked. They also had many opportunities, and they took advantage of their first to score. Even though that stung, we persisted in our efforts. We were particularly motivated to play well in front of our own supporters after the goal at the opening of the second half.

“We appeared good. In contrast to other games where things don’t go as planned or you don’t connect well with a teammate, today we simply missed the goal. The guys who came on after that did their best to ensure that everything went smoothly. We generated enough chances to win.

I can’t believe that strike, he continued. I’m glad I can support the group. Whether it’s scoring or providing an assist, I enjoy doing anything I can for the team.
