Federico Valverde hat-trick leads Real Madrid past Manchester City in Champions League: Live updates and reaction


It was a formidable right-hand side for Real Madrid this evening with Trent Alexander-Arnold locking down the right-back position and Fede Valverde scoring three brilliant goals further up.

Alexander-Arnold had some very high praise for his Uruguayan team-mate when he spoke to TNT Sports.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œI think he is undoubtedly the most underrated footballer on the planet.

โ€œWhen you play with him, you understand how much he gives to the team, he covers every blade of grass, he gives his all.

โ€œAs a player, the best attribute you can have is that your team-mates can always count on you and he’s always there โ€” he never lets us down.

โ€œMaybe people will start talking about it now but for many years he’s been in that top bracket of midfielders.โ€
