Fede Valverde's season is shaping up to be historic in more ways than one. The Real Madrid star is breaking records that will be hard to match in the near future, cementing his role as a key figure in the club's midfield. While there were initial concerns about who would take over Toni Kroos' mantle in midfield, Valverde has emerged as the clear successor, not just by inheriting the iconic number 8 shirt, but through his consistent performances on the field.

Valverde's versatility was on full display in Real Madrid's recent win over Leganés, where he excelled as a right-back, a position outside his usual role in midfield. Despite the change, he played brilliantly and even scored a goal, proving his adaptability and footballing intelligence.

According to OPTA, the official football statistics provider, Valverde is currently leading La Liga in five crucial areas, highlighting his extraordinary season. He has scored the most goals from outside the box (3), attempted the most passes (489), and completed the most successful passes in the final third (213). Additionally, he leads the league in passes completed in the opponent's half (441) and interceptions made in the opponent's half (13). These remarkable stats underscore his dominance across multiple aspects of the game, further solidifying his status as one of the most important players in Real Madrid's squad.
