Real Madrid's Federico Valverde scores stunning solo goal vs Mallorca
Federico Valverde might just have scored the La Liga goal of the season so far.
Real Madrid were looking to continue their strong start to the 2022/23 campaign on a sunny early afternoon at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium as it continues to undergo renovations.
The reigning champions came into their latest league clash with an unbeaten record of three wins and one draw, needing to secure another three points to draw level with Barcelona in top spot.
However, not everything went to plan for Carlo Ancelotti’s men in front of their own fans as they found themselves 1-0 down to Mallorca courtesy of a Vedat Muriqi strike on 35 minutes.
But just before the half-time whistle was nearing the horizon and Real battled on into first-half stoppage time, Valverde well and truly pulled the rabbit out of the hat to equalise for the hosts.
The Uruguay international is known as something of a locomotive in midfield at the best of times, but that couldn’t have been clearer than on Sunday as he scored a stunning individual goal.
Picking up the ball deep within his own half, Valverde decided that he didn’t need any help as he bulldozed his way past several Mallorca players and swiftly approached their penalty area.
But the magic didn’t end there because Valverde duly unleashed an absolute thunderbolt of a strike that found a home in the top left-hand corner for a stunner you just need to watch:
What a goal we've just seen!
