Match Recap
Real Madrid didn't just beat Valencia, they dismantled them. Federico Valverde opened the rout in the 28th minute, Arda Güler doubled it eight minutes later, and by the time Kylian Mbappé rolled in the third in the 75th, the scoreline read 0-3 and the game had long stopped being a contest. It's a fourth straight league defeat for Valencia at Mestalla against this opponent, extending a run where they haven't beaten or even drawn Real Madrid in their last two meetings. The gap in form tells its own story: Madrid arrive on four wins from five in La Liga and sit third with 27 points, while Valencia, 19th with just nine, have now lost their grip on a match that was gone by half-time. Mbappé's goal was his latest for fun, keeping him top of the league's scoring charts with 47, a number no one else in Spanish football is close to touching. For Valencia fans there's little to dwell on here beyond damage limitation, but for everyone else, Mbappé's finish alone is worth rewinding to watch again.
