Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde expressed satisfaction following his team's 2-1 triumph against Real Sociedad during La Liga's fourth matchday. The Uruguayan international watched from the substitutes' bench as his teammates battled through most of the contest with only ten men following a dismissal. Valverde praised the squad's determination after the red card incident, noting that defender Eder Militao appeared positioned near the contested ball during the controversial moment. Real Sociedad generated multiple threatening attacks during the second period, forcing goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois into several critical interventions that preserved the victory. Such hard-fought matches often determine championship outcomes, according to the midfielder.

The 25-year-old celebrated reaching 150 La Liga victories while wearing the famous white jersey. Valverde described the milestone as deeply meaningful and emphasized his pride in representing the club. Recent international duty travel spanning twelve hours left him physically drained, prompting honest discussions with manager Carlo Ancelotti about his readiness for full participation. The coach respected his assessment and adjusted team selection accordingly for the encounter.
