Federico Valverde shot: Real Madrid midfielder goes viral for strike for Uruguay

Federico Valverde’s incredibly powerful short while playing for Uruguay earlier this year is going viral.

Earlier this week, the Real Madrid midfielder made headlines after he wiped out Iran players on three separate occasions with his powerful shots.

You certainly don’t want to get in the way of a Valverde shot, that’s for sure.

And it may be because of what happened earlier this week that a Valverde shot during Uruguay’s 1-0 victory over Peru in a World Cup qualifier in March is doing the rounds on social media.

On that occasion, Valverde didn’t injure anyway. Nor did he score. Instead, it was the crossbar that felt the full force of Valverde’s ridiculous power as his 30-yard strike cannoned off the woodwork.

It was a strike so powerful that it’s gone viral on Twitter this week with fans in disbelief at just how hard Valverde kicked it.
