WATCH: Terrible Valverde shot sails into Rayo Vallecano fan's apartment during Real Madrid match

WHAT HAPPENED? The fan who took the video was thrilled with the unexpected gift from Valverde. "It was the first football game I saw and I really liked it," he told Relevo.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Valverde's shot was errant, but his season has still been spectacular. He's already set a career best in goals for a campaign with eight in all competitions while continuing to bring crucial versatility to Carlo Ancelotti's team.

WHAT NEXT FOR VALVERDE? It's a big month for the 24-year-old. He will lead Uruguay into the World Cup as a member of the nation's next generation of stars, hoping to replicate the success Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani enjoyed at their first tournament in 2010.
