Real Madrid star Federico Valverde has won Uruguay’s Athlete of the Year honour following his incredible form for the club.

The 24 year old player was the deserving winner of the award after playing a key role as Real Madrid won the Champions League and La Liga.

It was Valverde’s pass that brought the winning goal against Liverpool in Paris. His cross was converted at the back post by Vinicius Junior as Real Madrid won our 14th European Cup/Champions League trophy.

Valverde has also started the new season in brilliant form, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists in just 9 appearances this season.
