The dream goal in injury time could still be of great importance for Real Madrid.
Federico Valverde conjured up that Bernabéu trembled: A moment of individual class has redeemed Real Madrid, the chance to intercept the big rival FC Barcelona in the championship race.
Through a dream goal of the Uruguayi midfielder (90.+3), the royal defeated the fourth play in the top game of the Spanish league 1-0 (1-0) and restored the four-point deficit to the league leader in the last second.
Ancelotti with special praise for Valverde
“The team delivered and Fede was the key player,” said Real coach Carlo Ancelotti, whose days in the Spanish capital have been counted against FC Arsenal at the latest since leaving: “We wanted to win, we wanted to react after leaving arsenal”.
In the case of six outstanding games, the Madrilenen still has the opportunity to successfully defend the title. Because Madrid can still catch up with a large part of the deficit on his own, in three weeks there will be a direct duel with Barca.
On April 26, both teams initially meet for a first title decision in the final of the Copa del Rey, on match day 35 (May 11th) there will be a possibly decisive strength in the league duel.
