Valverde’s Last-Minute Magic Gives Real Madrid a Win! ⚽️✨
Hey football fans! Have you ever scored a goal in the last minute of a game? That’s exactly what Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde did on Sunday! 😮
In a super exciting match against Athletic Bilbao, Valverde scored an amazing goal three minutes into stoppage time (that’s when the game is almost over but there’s a little extra time added). He hit a powerful volley (a kick where you hit the ball before it touches the ground) into the top corner of the net! 🎯
This awesome goal helped Real Madrid win 1-0 and keeps them close to their big rivals, Barcelona, in the La Liga standings. They’re just four points behind now! 🏆
Even Real Madrid’s goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, was impressed. He said, “Fede has a very special shot. In training, he kicks balls that seem like they’re going out, but they suddenly spin into the goal. We always tell him: ‘Shoot, shoot!'” 🗣️
Earlier in the game, Vinicius Jr. thought he had scored, but his goal was disallowed because of an offside (that’s when a player is too close to the opponent’s goal before the ball is played to them). 😕
The match was tough, and Athletic Bilbao played strong defense. Their player Alex Berenguer said, “We played well and defended until the end, but Real Madrid are very good at home.” 🏟️
Other matches on the day included some exciting scores too:
- Osasuna 3-2 Real Valladolid
- Villarreal 2-2 Real Sociedad
- Sevilla 1-1 Alaves
