Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde has sent a warning to Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, saying that he’d repeat his foul in the 2020 Spanish Super Cup final.
Valverde took out Morata when found one-on-one with Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the 115th minute. He was issued a red card – but it also allowed Real to win the final.
He insisted ahead of tonight’s semi-final against Atletico: “Sure, I would (do it again). As long as it’s for the team. If we are losing 3-0, it makes no sense. In that final we were playing the game, it was very close. If we went with that result, I would do it again. For the team, for my values.
“You always have to leave everything for the team.
“For me it is very nice to play these games. In Madrid the best thing is to compete against the best and Atlético is the best on a world level. Starting with tomorrow, we know that we are fighting for a title. The Cup and League will also be important and will determine if we want to fight for all the titles.
“We want to show the fans that we are going to fight for all the titles.”
