Real Madrid - Manchester City 3:0 Video of goals and review of the Champions League match After the end, Galacticos captain Federico Valverde commented on the performance of the powerful team.

" I want to thank my teammates for their trust, the coaching staff and the patients, regardless of the difficult season.

Insanely, this is especially my shortest match of the season, especially in the context of goals. I deserved it. It's been a long time since I played so hard. Happy through the team's victory.

The very thing I try to do is work, and the very thing that the coach encourages me to do is to run from the line with a kick, attack someone else’s goal. Today we had a lot more players who controlled the ball, so I wanted to attack the free space more. My teammates gave me incredible passes, I give them this.

We were trained a lot by these moments, especially by blows in front of the powerful gates. The opponents were especially pressing, and behind them there was room to run. And we have Swedes in us, and it worked well.

Our responsibilities are equal to one another, like to one another, to kidnap one another, to help one another, to hide one another. You can see if the team is united.

If we work together, we can achieve great results. We languished in the rest of the country, but the team continued to practice.

Important - this is the robot of the team, and we are working on the field for the sake of victory. Everything else has no special meaning.

The matches there in Manchester are important. They have a very passionate fan base..
