Real Madrid secured their first La Liga victory of the season on Sunday, emerging as 3-0 winners against Real Valladolid at the Santiago Bernabeu. It wasn’t a vintage performance from Los Blancos, but in the end, it was more than enough.
Carlo Ancelotti spoke on various topics post-match. As per Diario AS, he heaped praise on Federico Valverde, whose goal in the second half set Real Madrid on their way to a first three points of the campaign.
“Federico Valverde is irreplaceable. Toni Kroos has chosen the perfect player to take the number eight jersey.”
Ancelotti also expressed his delight with Endrick Felipe, who scored on his Real Madrid debut with the final kick of the match.
“Endrick looks very good, he has very big potential. He showed that with his goal.”
Finally, Ancelotti addressed the situation with Kylian Mbappe. The 25-year-old has yet to get off the mark in La Liga in his opening two matches for Real Madrid.
