Rafael Nadal may have stepped away from professional tennis, but he remains closely connected to the world of sport—especially as a passionate supporter and honorary member of Real Madrid.
Following the club’s impressive week, Nadal shared his admiration for one player in particular: Federico Valverde. The Spaniard didn’t hold back in his praise, highlighting the midfielder’s exceptional level and potential.
“He has everything to be one of the best midfielders in Real Madrid’s history. My 3-year-old son is fascinated by him,” Nadal said.
Valverde’s recent performances have caught widespread attention, with many considering him not only the standout player in the current squad but also one of the most influential midfielders in European football right now.
