Impact Valverde has created just two chances this season but still benefitted from some nifty play by Vinicius Junior to earn his first assist. With an interesting spot on the right flank in the absence of Gareth Bale, Valverde has continued to make himself useful, even if his numbers aren't outstanding by any one measure.
