Madrid thrashes in Mestalla

Real Madrid thrashed Valencia at Mestalla, achieving their eighth consecutive victory across LaLiga and the Champions League. With this streak, our team heads into the international break after a match they were leading 0-2 at halftime thanks to goals from Valverde and Arda Güler. Mbappé, who scored in his seventh consecutive match, sealed the 0-3 scoreline in the second half.

Our team started in control, but the first chance fell to the hosts with a shot from Mayol outside the box, which Courtois saved with a dive in the 19th minute. Real Madrid responded decisively around the half-hour mark. Mbappé took a free kick that deflected off the wall, but the rebound fell to Valverde, who made it 0-1 with a precise strike from the edge of the box. Mourinho's side extended the lead in the 36th minute after a brilliant move where Bellingham reached the byline and his pull-back was finished first-time by Arda Güler with his right foot.

Chances
The Turkish player could have gone into halftime with a brace, but his powerful shot from the edge of the box was spectacularly saved by Dimitrievski in the 43rd minute. After the break, Arda Güler had another opportunity. This time, in a one-on-one with the goalkeeper, Dimitrievski came out on top in the 54th minute. Two minutes later, another one-on-one with Dimitrievski. This time it was Mbappé, who, slightly off-angle, struck his shot into the body of the goalkeeper. The chances kept coming, and in the 58th minute, the Frenchman had another attempt, but once again, Dimitrievski denied him with a shot from the edge of the box.

Mbappé scores in his seventh consecutive match
Mourinho's side was relentless, and in the 65th minute, Bellingham completed a spectacular solo move, evading three defenders and striking a shot inside the box that Dimitrievski saved, collecting the ball on the second attempt after Mbappé’s bicycle kick. The Frenchman finally succeeded ten minutes later. A great control by Arda Güler and a spectacular spin-assist set up Mbappé, who beat the Valencia goalkeeper with his first touch and sent the ball into the net with his second. That marked the seventh consecutive match in which the Frenchman has scored. In the 79th minute, Gayà was sent off for a foul on Mbappé as he was breaking away alone. From then until the end, the visitors continued to dominate to secure their eighth consecutive victory.
