A first-half masterclass, featuring a brace from Mbappé and another Bellingham special, sinks Valencia and extends Madrid’s lead at the top.
Real Madrid put on a show at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday, effortlessly dispatching Valencia 4-0 in a performance that underlined their title credentials. The star-studded attack was in full force, with Kylian Mbappé netting a first-half brace and the in-form Jude Bellingham getting on the scoresheet yet again.
The league leaders left no doubt about the outcome, effectively sealing the three points before the halftime whistle. The home side set the tempo early, with Federico Valverde firing a warning shot just wide. The pressure soon told as Mbappé broke the deadlock from the penalty spot after 19 minutes, coolly sending the Valencia goalkeeper the wrong way.
He didn’t have to wait long for his second, expertly turning in a cross from the lively Arda Güler to double the advantage. While Valencia’s Julen Agirrezabala provided a momentary highlight by saving a Vinícius Júnior penalty, he was helpless just before the break. Jude Bellingham, continuing his remarkable run of form, cut inside and curled a beautiful shot into the net to make it 3-0 and score for the third consecutive game.
With the result beyond doubt, the second half became a controlled exercise for Madrid. Valencia offered little resistance, and the hosts comfortably managed the game, adding a final flourish late on when Álvaro Carreras hammered a powerful drive into the net for the fourth goal.
The emphatic victory, which stretches their lead at the top of LaLiga, serves as the perfect confidence boost for Real Madrid as they now turn their attention to a crucial Champions League trip to face Liverpool on Tuesday.
