Was it a pass or a shot from Valverde? “I passed it, I saw Vinícius come in from the corner of my eye”

Uruguayan Fede Valverde, author of the assist that earned Real Madrid its 14th Champions League, clarified that he attempted a pass and not a shot in the action that resulted in Brazil’s Vinicius goal and the merengue win against Liverpool.

“I passed it, out of the corner of my eye I saw him come in (Vinicius) and everything was perfect,” said Valverde, author of the 59th minute assist, with a half smile.

The right winger also claimed that this edition of the Real Madrid Champions League, with two epic comebacks, would have been useless if he hadn’t won today.

Likewise, the Uruguayan player thanked his wife for his support and joked when he said he would have changed the Champions League for her.

“Now I keep them both. She’s very River and she would definitely leave me because River wins the Libertadores,” he replied.

More seriously, he assured her that she’s his “bra”. “My wife is the one who does the banking when things aren’t going well. When I’m a donkey face because I’m not playing, she always has some words of encouragement,” he said.
