Font size

Real Madrid beat Valencia this Saturday on matchday 12 of the League. In a start to the match completely controlled by Madrid, it was Valencia that was close to taking the lead. Guido Rodríguez took advantage of a rained ball in the area to finish alone and beat Courtois, but the goal was disallowed due to offside. Valencia was encouraged for a few minutes. However, it was José Mourinho's team that took the lead with a shot from Valverde from the edge of the area. Madrid slowed down the game, although they immediately accelerated again and found the second. Bellingham received in the area, accelerated to the baseline and put a cross to the far post where Güler appeared to score the goal. Mourinho's men continued their dominance in the second half, but were unable to close the game with a third goal. Dimitrievski saved Aguirre's team on several occasions until Mbappé, in a one-on-one match, dribbled past the Macedonian goalkeeper and scored the third goal to kill the match.
