The Uruguayan was asked about the number of Real Madrid players who have scored against Liverpool. He replied, “I only know 3, but I’m going to say 4 for the sake of it because he has scored like 5000 goals (Cristiano).”
The 24-year-old has made 41 appearances for Real Madrid this season. He has played almost 2,000 minutes in La Liga in 25 appearances. The hard-working midfielder has chipped in with seven goals and two assists, helping Los Blancos sit in second place ahead of Sunday’s title-deciding El Clasico. Valverde has also been a vital part of the first team in the Champions League. He has played seven games, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
Cristiano Ronaldo was crucial to Real Madrid’s success over the years, scoring an incredible 450 goals in 438 appearances. He helped them win various domestic and international titles, including four Champions Leagues between 2014 and 2018, two La Liga titles and two Copa del Rey titles. Ronaldo holds the record for the most Champions League goals in a single season with 17 goals and is the competition’s all-time goal scorer with 34.
The Portuguese superstar is currently playing in the Saudi Pro League for Al Nassr, who is now 2nd in the table. He has scored eight goals and provided two assists so far and hopes to help them win a trophy this season. He joined the club in January after a fallout with the management at Manchester United resulted in his contract being terminated.
