Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde has admitted that the team’s recent 4-0 thrashing in El Clasico by Barcelona was a painful defeat for Los Blancos.

Barca enjoyed a comfortable win at the Santiago Bernabeu back in October, with Valverde admitting the better team had won the game in the Spanish capital.

“It hurts a lot and obviously it makes you very helpless not to have gotten the three points on our field,” he told Jorge Valdano on Movistar+’s ‘Universo Valdano’

“You also have to recognize when one played a game inferior to the other and I think Barcelona played a very good game.
