Real revelation of the season, Frederico Valverde was already the darling of the Madrid public or not far. But with Real Madrid's victory in the Spanish Supercup final against Atlético Madrid, he will outright become an idol.

Without his mad race and his sacrifice to prevent Morata from defying Thibaut Courtois at the very end of the second overtime, there could perhaps never have been a tenth in ten finals for Zidane on the Madrid bench after a lackluster final won in shots at goal in Saudi Arabia (0-0).

🔴🎙 Fede VALVERDE: "Lo que he hecho con MORATA NO se debe HACER. Estoy ARREPENTIDO y le he pedido DISCULPAS".

Even Diego Simeone, follower of the most diverse deceptions to make win his team, validated the suicidal return of the Uruguayan, who is likely to take very expensive in front of the Spanish committee of discipline after this tackle tackle which could have seriously injured Morata. "Anyone would have the same thing in his place" admitted the Argentinian, almost admiring. The master's dubiousness.
