Brutal finish: Valverde's goal for Real Madrid's 2-0 over Barcelona [VIDEO]

Domingo 16 de Octubre del 2022

The Uruguayan attacker demonstrated all his quality with an exquisite cornered finish against Ter Stegen. It's the second goal for the 'Casa Blanca' against a Barcelona team that can't find a reaction.

The Real Madrid has shown absolute superiority over the players of Barcelona. After Karim Benzema's goal before the first quarter of an hour, Uruguayan Federico Valverde extended the lead in the 35th minute with a sublime low shot, impossible to save for goalkeeper Marc André Ter Stegen.

Then, after a series of attacks on the edge of the blue and red area, Frenchman Ferland Mendy enabled the South American midfielder to score again in the Spanish capital. Meanwhile, an impassive Xavi couldn't believe what was happening on the field.

This is the fifth goal for 'Fede' this season. He had previously scored against Celta de Vigo, Mallorca, and Atlético de Madrid in domestic competitions. He also scored in the match against RB Leipzig in the Champions League.


Real Madrid vs Barcelona: what lies ahead for both teams

After this match, the 'merengues' will face Elche this Wednesday as visitors in a new domestic league fixture. The coaching staff is expected to make changes to the starting eleven to give their players rest. It has been a tough series of matches between LaLiga and the Champions League. Moreover, on the next Saturday, the Real Madrid will have another tough match against Sevilla.

On the 25th of this month, the Madridistas will compete again in Europe when they visit RB Leipzig in Germany for the fifth matchday of the group stage of the Champions League. It will be a mere formality for the Spaniards as they have already qualified for the knockout stages of the tournament.

On the other hand, the Blaugrana squad will play against Villarreal this Thursday. It will be a tough test before the weekend match against the always difficult Athletic Club de Bilbao. Barcelona will play for the Champions League on the 26th when Bayern Munich visits Camp Nou, in a match where they must win no matter what and hope for a slip-up from Inter to dream of advancing to the next round.
