Against Villarreal, every Real Madrid player did well but even so, Fede Valverde's display stands out.
The Uruguayan performed 16 recoveries which is his new personal single-game record. Look at his heatmap from yesterday's game: it shows how much defensive work he does!
Here's how our readers reacted to Valverde's performance:
Mr Charles: "Fede deserves recognition today, he was everywhere! Jude is just him. Madrid's defense was top-notch even though we conceded one goal. All in all, it was a fantastic weekend for Madrid."
Ter Ibunde: "Fede is always everywhere. With two box-to-box players in Jude and Fede, I don't worry too much about UCL. These two can run any team ragged!"
Brown Luputa: "The only problem with football today is we only look at assists and goals. But if you look beyond that, Fede is the best"
