Real Madrid star Toni Kroos has praised young starlet Federico Valverde and believes that the 23-year-old could become a really special player in the near future. The Uruguayan has enjoyed a sparkling start to the 2022/23 season, contributing to 9 goals in 16 league appearances so far.

Former Arsenal star William Gallas believes that Gabriel Martinelli isn’t good enough for Real Madrid right now but added that Arsenal should tie him to a new contract as soon as possible. The 21-year-old has been in great form this season, with six goal contributions in ten appearances.

In light of Atletico Madrid’s loss to Real Madrid, Diego Simeone praised the Los Blancos and confessed that it reminded him of his old Atletico sides with Diego Costa. The two Madrid giants battled it out in the derby on Sunday but the Los Rojiblancos fell short in the end, losing 2-1.

Ever since his debut for Real Madrid, Federico Valverde has become well known for doing a lot of things well including learning the dark arts but he hasn’t been known for his goal-scoring. The midfielder has only netted 7 times in a Los Blancos shirt but his eighth might be his greatest ever.
