Valverde had a glorious s campaign with Real last season, winning the Span nish title and the Champions League, and the industrio ous 24-year-old – La Liga’s pla ayer of the month for Septemb ber – has added goals to his gam me.
He has scored six times in 12 league starts for Carl lo Ancelotti’s side, including g strikes against Barcelona a and Atletico Madrid, also notc ching twice in the Champions League group stage.
