I love him – Real Madrid’s Valverde names his favourite Barcelona player

Real Madrid midfielder, Fede Valverde has named his favourite Barcelona player.

Valverde was asked to name the best and worst players at rival club Barcelona during an interview with The Residency.

The 25-year-old was visibly fazed by the question and tried his best to avoid putting on an awkward face.

Recollecting his composure in a blink, though, Valverde revealed his favourite player at Barcelona, giving the designation to his fellow compatriot Ronald Araujo.

Valverde said he loves Araujo, saying (via Football Espana): “I am fascinated by Ronald, I have always said I love him.

“Plus, he is from Uruguay and he is a good friend of mine.”

Valverde has played against Araujo seven times so far, winning three and losing four times.
