Real Madrid player Fede Valverde appeared in press statements after beating Villarreal 2-0 in the ninth round of La Liga.

Dani said about Carvajal’s serious injury: "Dani's injury is a shame. In the end, the result is the least important. Carvajal's health is the most important... We will see what he says in the dressing room."

He added: "How did you see “The match was a good match. It was neither too good nor too bad. It was the right thing to do to win, but it was another thing to worry about.”

On scoring two goals from outside the area: “After spending a lot of time training there with Davide and Francesco, we got our reward. The key is work. I have had many teachers in this team.”

He added: “How do you describe your role? What I like most is contributing to defense and attack. I enjoyed today.”

He concluded: “I am happy. Obviously I want to do better, we could have been better, but there is still a lot of season left.”
