Real Madrid had a difficult evening on Wednesday, losing to Athletic Bilbao (2-1). If Jude Bellingham had briefly given his team hope by equalizing, an error from Federico Valverde at the very end of the match gave the Basques victory. A situation that the Uruguayan took on with a poignant message on his social networks.
“We win together, we lose together”
After the match, Federico Valverde, who lost the ball 30 meters from his goal, shared his regret on Instagram:
“Today was a hard blow. I take responsibility and apologize to my teammates and supporters. I know these things happen, but it doesn’t leave me indifferent. »
His teammate, Jude Bellingham, quickly came to the defense of the Uruguayan midfielder, commenting under his post: “Don’t apologize. We win together, we lose together. » A message that reflects the solidarity within the Madrid locker room, despite a difficult period. With 4 goals in his last 5 matches, the Englishman continues to shine and asserts himself as a natural leader of Real Madrid.
This defeat leaves the Madrid club lagging behind in La Liga, but the support shown between the players could be a key factor in getting back on track.
