Real Madrid News: Valverde's shirt left blood stained after the Madrid derby, "Are you coming from a war?"

In Real Madrid News, Fede Valverde left everything on the pitch on Sunday as Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid in the LaLiga Santander season's first Madrid derby.

As ever, Fede left his blood, sweat and tears on the pitch. His first-half shirt was even left with blood stains.

"But are you returning from a war?" Mina Bonino, Fede's wife captioned a photo of Valverde's blood-stained shirt on Instagram after the game.

Bonino said more on Twitter, sharing a sweet message.

"What I say is irrelevant because I'm your wife, so it's hard for me to separate things," Bonino wrote. "But I try to, because watching you play football is the thing I enjoy the most.

"Even more so as I watched and followed your growth. I know that this is football and everything can go wrong tomorrow, but I'll always recognise your achievements and celebrate them with you.

"I know the road is long and there are a lot of things left to do, but I am so proud of you and what you've become, both as a professional and as a person."

Rodrygo and Federico Valverde scored to earn Real Madrid a 2-1 win over neighbours Atletico Madrid in a heated derby on Sunday to return to the top of La Liga.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have started their title defence in perfect fashion, with a 100 percent record from six games. This victory took Real two points above Barcelona, who had leapfrogged into first on Saturday.

"Even more so as I watched and followed your growth. I know that this is football and everything can go wrong tomorrow, but I'll always recognise your achievements and celebrate them with you.

"I know the road is long and there are a lot of things left to do, but I am so proud of you and what you've become, both as a professional and as a person."
