I’be To improve, learn, so that such a mistake does not happen again. It will be a team that will put us in a lot of difficulties and that will put men on top of us, but we have very fast and skilled people. We are players made for these games.⚪️💤 Fede Valverde: “Few games ago I made a very key mistake that had never happened to me before… and that night I had trouble sleeping”. Sometimes games don’t go the way I would like… We would all like to put in a 10 performance every game, and in San Mames I made a mistake that cost us the game, something that had never happened to me in my entire career. It was difficult to sleep that night, but those things are part of football. The important thing is to move forward and show that, as one of the captains, I can be an example."It p*sses you off, obviously. We're not used to going through these moments; we're always on top. But you have to be calm, it is part of football, the process and trust in the work."Real Madrid have managed to return to winning ways following the loss and beat Girona 3-0 in their previous game. Carlo Ancelotti's side are set to take on Atalanta in a UEFA Champions League showdown on Tuesday, December 10.
