Real Madrid's Federico Valverde Issues Statement On Mistake In Athletic Club Defeat

Federico Valverde has issued an apology on social media following his mistake in Real Madrid's 2-1 defeat against Athletic Club in La Liga.

The 26-year-old uncharacteristically made an error, which allowed Gorka Guruzeta to break through on goal and secure all three points for the home side.In his post-match press conference, Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti said that the midfielder shouldn't dwell on the mistake and look ahead to the club's next game.

However, Valverde has posted a lengthy message on Instagram, apologizing for the error that ultimately cost Real Madrid the match. "Today has been a hard hit, but I take the blame, turn the face and apologize. For my teammates and fans. I know it's football and things can happen, but they're not strangers to me and I didn't want to stop expressing myself for the mistake I made. There's still a long way to go, many competitions and I'm sure a lot of joy. Thank you #HalaMadrid.
