The Uruguayan midfielder spoke to 'ESPN' and expressed his feelings about the match: "I really enjoyed it. South American football is very nice to watch. River are one of the best teams in South America. I came to enjoy it with my daughter and my wife.
He also gave an outlook on his professional future and admitted: "I'm a River fan, but I'm a fan of Penarol. It's my club in Uruguay. Before River, Penarol comes first. It will always be my first choice, although right now I'm enjoying being at Madrid, then we'll see.
Meanwhile, Valverde spoke about Lionel Messi's move to Inter Miami: "Messi? He's an icon, we admire him. Messi is Messi, we know what he represents in the world.
Finally, the Uruguayan referred to the departure of Karim Benzema from Madrid: "A legend is leaving us, not just for us, but for the whole club and the world of football. For everything he represents as a player, a reference point and captain. But we have to do our bit for the future".
