'My job is to run until I can't no more': Recalling Valverde's words as midfielder hits 44th straight game for Madrid

In a 2020 interview with Real Madrid TV, Federico Valverde laid out his role at the club:

"My job is to run until I can't anymore, until my legs give out."

Fast forward four years, and the Uruguayan continues to live by that motto, giving his all on the pitch week in and out.

This campaign alone, the midfielder has amassed an impressive total of 44 games played, featuring in every single Los Blancos encounter and averaging a staggering 80 minutes of playing time per game.

With Fede's tremendous work rate and versatility, it's impossible to underestimate how crucial the midfielder is for the success of this team.
