Fourth consecutive away match for Real Madrid. The schedule is relentless and, after defeating AEK Athens on Wednesday in the Champions League, Mourinho's side visits Valencia tonight at Mestalla (9:00 pm CEST; Orange TV and Dazn). The objective will be to secure the tenth league victory and the 14th of the season.

Our team arrives at this match in great form. They are on a seven-game winning streak: four in LaLiga (Villarreal, Sevilla, Barcelona, and Racing Santander) and three in the Champions League (Roma, Leipzig, and AEK Athens). This strong momentum is reflected both in attack and defense, with 21 goals scored and only eight conceded. The madridistas will aim to extend this streak before another international break.

“It’s one of the most difficult matches in LaLiga, and we have to be at our best to win,” said Mourinho during the pre-match press conference. Our coach has called up 23 players. Tchouameni and Arda Güler return, and Mbappé, who has scored in six consecutive matches, will be present.

The team managed by Javier Aguirre is currently in 19th position in the table, with two wins, three draws, and six losses. Both teams have faced each other 91 times in Valencia in LaLiga, with 29 resulting in madridista victories. Last season, our team won 0-2 with goals from Mbappé and Carreras. Today, the goal is to secure the eighth consecutive victory before the break.
