Federico Valverde scored a brilliant goal for Real Madrid against Mallorca on Sunday after a spectacular 50-metre run just before half-time to equalise for Real Madrid.

After skipping past a series of defenders, he unleashed an unstoppable left-footed strike which flew into the top corner from the edge of the box. 

Reacting to his stunner against Mallorca, Valverde said: “I’m delighted to have got the win. The goal was beautiful but the important thing was to win. We’ve got that pride and daring to go after the game even if we’re behind.

“I started running, I saw the red shirts and I tried to get round them so I could keep going. When I saw they were showing me inside, I took advantage of that and shot with my left. It was a team goal.”
