Valverde’s superb 93rd minute strike kept Real Madrid on Barcelona’s tail in the Spanish title race, earning the champions a 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
“Fede has such a good shot... in training yesterday he shot a ball that looked like it was going out and then it picked up a curl like that and you go ‘how do you shoot like that?’” said Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.Athletic Bilbao, who reached the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday by beating Rangers, rotated heavily.
“We wanted to win, we wanted to react after the elimination against Arsenal -- the team came through and Fede was the key player.” Madrid played with intensity after their European elimination, trying to keep La Liga in their sights after Barcelona made a late comeback to beat Celta Vigo on Saturday. Bellingham appealed for a penalty after going down softly in the area and then fired over from close range in the final stages.
