Real Madrid Sinks Valencia with Impressive Display, Extends Lead in La Liga.
Real Madrid secured a convincing 4-0 victory over struggling Valencia at home, further solidifying their position at the top of La Liga. The dominant performance saw Kylian Mbappé score twice, Jude Bellingham and Alvaro Carreras also find the net, as Los Blancos claimed their 13th win from 14 matches in all competitions.
The victory extended Real's commanding lead in the league, putting them seven points clear of Villarreal and eight ahead of third-placed Barcelona. The result also marked a significant blow to Valencia's already struggling campaign.
Mbappé gave the home side a two-goal lead with goals in the 19th and 31st minutes, first converting a penalty that was awarded for a handball by César Tárrega and, 12 minutes later, firing home a volley from close range. Bellingham struck a sublime low shot from the edge of the box into the bottom corner to make it 3-0 in the 44th minute, while Carreras unleashed an unstoppable angled shot in the 82nd to wrap up the thrashing.
Mbappé has now scored 13 goals in 11 La Liga matches this season and 18 goals in all competitions. His teammate Federico Valverde praised Mbappé's exceptional form, saying: "He is spectacular. We have to enjoy him. May he continue scoring for Madrid, for himself, for his history. He still has a lot left to achieve and I have no doubt he will. He is one of the best in the world."
In other La Liga action, Villarreal took second place with a 4-0 demolition of Rayo Vallecano, while Atalanta suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of Udinese. Juventus secured a 2-1 win over Cremonese, while Bayern Munich powered past Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the Bundesliga.
Genoa parted ways with Patrick Vieira by mutual agreement after a dismal start to their campaign, which saw them score only four goals in nine matches. Meanwhile, Napoli played out a goalless draw with Como, and Juventus handed Cremonese a surprise 2-1 defeat under new manager Luciano Spalletti.
