Real Madrid – Barça: Valverde’s painful confession about the Clasico

A Clasico that will remain in everyone’s memory! At the end of October, Barça, La Liga leader, traveled to Real Madrid with the firm intention of keeping this position by widening the gap on their direct opponent. And in a magical evening, Hansi Flick’s Blaugrana simply extinguished Bernabeu by delivering a demonstration to finally win by a score of 4-0 with a double from Robert Lewandowski and goals from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. An inevitably painful defeat which marked the White House locker room.

“We have to admit that they outclassed us”

Almost a month after this defeat, it was Federico Valverde, the Uruguayan midfielder of Real Madrid, who returned to this significant setback during an interview given to the Movistar : “The 4-0 defeat against Barça was very painful. We have to admit they outclassed us“, Valverde first confided, before returning in more detail to this shock: “You also have to recognize that one team played an inferior match to the other, and I think Barcelona played a very good match. I don’t think everything is bad for Madrid, I just think Barcelona did some good things. Especially in the second half… The first half was very balanced and both teams had chances. In the second half they scored a goal and everything changed, the energy changed, at least in our team“, he added, before admitting that his team had lost control a little: “They then scored the second goal and it obviously went beyond the tactical and footballing level. We forget a little, we go a little crazy “. A joy that brought joy to Barça supporters!
