Real Madrid vs. Manchester City was poised as one of the matches to watch in the UCL Round of 16, and Federico Valverde wrote his name amongst the headlines with a stunning first-half Hat Trick to give Alvaro Arbeloa’s side the win over Man. City. Pep Guardiola’s side had no response for a stunning Valverde display, which the Champions Club crew debates could be the best UEFA Champions League performance by an individual.

The effort is different when mbappe play.
The mentality should be “they need to play better with mbappe”
Valverde did the best game of his life!
He is always an important player in RM team.!
I think he is by far the best midfielder in the world.
I call him 4×4 player
Defends
Attack
And is everywhere in the field !
Fans and the world are reacting this way because this team has been extremely poor and the squad should be ashamed
so I guess we're completely ignoring Messi's first half hatrick vs Arsenal in the 2010 Champions League quarter finals
Yet another individual brilliance discourse smh, as if the team wasn’t pressing like crazy. As if we weren’t breaking lines with ease, as if the 5 in the middle didn’t dismantle man city.. these tacticos kill me man
Dude I cried
Fede Valverde is the most complete midfielder on the planet. He can even play right or left back if need be. Can play from CDM to CAM in MF also. As a madridista, He and Thibault can do no wrong.
Stop saying the team play better without mbappe 😂the team more scary with mbappe and they also more scary when the team fully fit😂I told y'all it was the defence was Madrid problem and now they fit 💀
I mean the level of disrespect is so massive I think those guys know nothing about football….
The greatest club in the history of football should always be considered to win any game against anyone….
Every single year I listen to the same thing and still Madrid wins.
Greatest? Come on guys) it’s great yes but greatest must be something like Cristiano hat tricks in quarter or semifinals against Atletico and Bayern back to back )
No one in the world outside of Madrid fans thought RM had a chance to win this game. The way British, media around the world talked about City were as if they were peak Barcelona. Smh.
Madrid is such a club that whenever they are to make another history, the team's spirit picks unusual players to start tormenting their contenders— Rodrygo/Alaba in 2022, Bellingham/Vini 2024; and this year, imo, it's Mbape/Valverde.
They have so much individual qualities that everyone has his time to shine
Funny how they forgot Benzema performance against PSG and Chelsea in 2022
He is right you know about valverdie being vthe hardest worker in football . because he doing consistently for years
As a Madridista for 20 years I can assure u that it is NOT over; it is maybe 65-35 for Real Madrid but never over for City.
Wipe your tears 😢😢😢😢
Greatest UCL performance ever?? Have you ever heard the names like LIONEL MESSI, CRISTIANO RONALDO, LEWANDOWSKI etc??
Troy 🤡😂😂
CBS should just stop covering Real Madrid games
See the people that said city will go through easily
Best performance was Messi in 2011 final…
I hate these clickbait titles
Why give 80 passes when Madrid can do it with 1 pass❤❤
Gareth Bale's performance for Tottenham against Inter in both legs comes to mind. 🤔
I agree, Real Madrid doesn't need Kylian Mbappé to win.
Valverde ⚽️⚽️
Nothing can be "good" or "great" anymore. Everything is the greatest of all time 🙄 Ugh
