Federico Valverde Jokes It's 'More Difficult To Watch His Son Than To Mark Andy Robertson'

​Federico Valverde​ joked that it's 'more difficult to watch his son than to mark Andy Robertson' following Real Madrid's Champions League triumph.

​Valverde​ starred as Real claimed their 14th European title after beating Liverpool 1-0 in Paris.

He made a big contribution to the only goal of the game, brilliantly setting up Vinicius Junior in the second half.

The Uruguayan was colossus all game and gave Robertson a tough evening, creating the goal on the Liverpool defender's side.

​And speaking immediately after the result, he made a light-hearted joke about the left-back.

He said it's 'more difficult to watch his son than to mark' the Liverpool man.​

"It’s more difficult to watch my son than to mark Robertson," he said, with his son on his shoulders.

Steven Gerrard, who was working as a pundit for BT Sport, hailed Valverde​'s pass to Vinicius Jr.​

"Valverde’s assist is not lucky! The pass takes three Liverpool defenders out, just because of the speed and accuracy," he explained. "A brilliant assist."​

Real held a parade following their Champions League success, where fans flocked to the Bernabeu to welcome back their team.

During the trophy parade, Valverde added: "The celebrations? Casemiro told me how it works here but the truth is it's all unbelievable. Wow.​

"I got up and my whole body hurts.​

"The final? It was incredible. It was important that the Champions League returned to Madrid!"
