Real Madrid secured a 3-0 victory against Valencia CF at the Mestalla stadium during their La Liga Matchday 12 fixture. This result moves Real Madrid to 30 points, tying Barcelona at the top of the table.

Federico Valverde opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a long-range strike following a free kick from Kylian Mbappé. Arda Güler doubled the lead in the 36th minute after a deflection from a Jude Bellingham cross. Kylian Mbappé completed the scoring in the 75th minute following an assist from Güler. The win marks Real Madrid’s eighth consecutive victory across all competitions under manager Jose Mourinho.

Before kickoff, players and fans observed a minute of silence to honor the recently deceased Tenerife striker, Jesus de Miguel.

Valencia, managed by Javier Aguirre, remains in 19th place, just above the relegation zone. The match was marked by high tension, with Valencia committing 26 fouls. Valencia’s José Gayà received a direct red card in the 79th minute for a foul on Mbappé.
