Real Madrid dominated Valencia, securing a 4-0 win that marked their 10th consecutive LaLiga victory at the Santiago Bernabeu. This impressive performance left Valencia struggling, with the team failing to win in their last six league fixtures and finding themselves in the relegation zone.
Fueled by their recent El Clásico win, Real Madrid started strong, with Kylian Mbappé making an early statement. Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham also showcased their skill with powerful shots that tested Valencia's defense. The team's high level of confidence was evident throughout the match, as they controlled the tempo and created scoring opportunities.
Valencia's resistance was soon broken after César Tárrega handled Éder Militão's header in the box, and Kylian Mbappé calmly scored the resulting penalty, netting his 12th league goal of the season.
Just 31 minutes into the match, Mbappé doubled Real Madrid's lead, expertly volleying home Arda Güler's cross with a side-foot finish, adding to his tally and securing a 2-0 advantage for the team. This goal marked his 13th of the campaign. Notably, Mbappé had been presented with the 2024/25 European Golden Boot award just days before this match.
Kylian Mbappe showed his sportsmanship by allowing Vinicius Jr. to take a penalty kick after the Brazilian was fouled by Thierry Correia. However, Vinicius Jr.'s penalty was saved by Julen Agirrezabala, sparking some tension given his recent substitution controversy. Fortunately, Real Madrid didn't have to wait long for their third goal, as Jude Bellingham produced a brilliant individual effort, skipping past his marker and drilling the ball past Agirrezabala to put the hosts 3-0 up before halftime.
The match seemed all but over after Bellingham's goal, and the home fans were ecstatic. Mbappé's gesture had almost backfired, but Bellingham's clinical finish ensured that the team wouldn't need to rely on spot-kicks to seal the win. With this victory, Real Madrid further solidified their lead at the top of the LaLiga table.
Valencia's last league win against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu seemed like a distant memory as they trailed 2-0 after 45 minutes, with Los Blancos dominating possession and creating scoring opportunities.
The visitors struggled to gain momentum, with Carlos Corberán's side failing to win a league game away from home for the eighth consecutive time, a streak dating back to last season. It wasn't until the 63rd minute that Valencia finally managed to get a shot on target, courtesy of André Almeida, whose effort was expertly tipped over by Thibaut Courtois. However, the match took a dramatic turn as Real Madrid sealed their victory with two late goals, courtesy of Jude Bellingham's penalty and Luka Modrić's stunning strike, securing a 2-1 win for Los Blancos.
The match against Valencia was a comfortable win for Real Madrid, with a 4-0 scoreline flattering the dominance they exerted over their opponents. The scoreline read 3-0 at halftime, thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappé, who scored a penalty and another from close range, and Jude Bellingham's well-taken strike.
