The Valencia-Real Madrid summary has two different offensive protagonists: Valverde opened the match and Güler helped close it. The Uruguayan scored the first; the Turk made the second and gave the pass to Mbappé for the third. The 0-3 allows Mourinho’s team to reach Sunday with the same points as Barcelona.
The result shifts attention to the Metropolitano. There Atlético and Barça play, separated by two points before their match. Real Madrid has already added the three points from this matchday and is waiting for the outcome of the clash between its rivals.
Eight minutes changed the match
The first goal came in the 28th minute, after a foul taken by Mbappé that bounced off the wall. Valverde took advantage of the rebound to finish from outside the area and beat Dimitrievski.
Real Madrid widened the gap in the 36th minute. An action in which Diomande and Bellingham were involved ended with the ball at Güler’s feet, who made it 0-2. Two goals in eight minutes gave the visitors a lead that they kept until halftime. The official times of the goals are listed in the match card and in the Valencia report.
Until then, Courtois had also intervened. The goalkeeper responded to a chance by Mayol with the score still level—a save that prevented Valencia from taking the lead before the decisive stretch of the first half.
Güler connected the second goal with the kill
After the break, Real Madrid maintained initiative and found chances to increase the distance. Dimitrievski stopped several visiting attempts, including shots by Mbappé, while Courtois appeared again against Danjuma.
The kill came in the 75th minute. Güler recovered the ball from Pepelu and found Mbappé. The forward won the action, beat the goalkeeper, and scored the third.
The Turk’s involvement summarizes his influence on the result: he scored when Real Madrid was looking to extend the lead and assisted when there was still a way to go to close the match. Mbappé completed the scoreline that would end up being decisive.
Gayà’s sending off came after the 0-3
Valencia finished with ten players because of the red card to Gayà after a challenge on Mbappé. The sending off came with the three goals already scored, so it does not explain the advantage built by Real Madrid.
The encounter included sanctioned actions and moments of tension. But the sporting difference had been established beforehand: the visiting team went into halftime with a two-goal advantage and extended the gap in the second half.
Mourinho kept a large part of his starting team until the final stretch. With the result decided, he brought on from the bench players such as Endrick, Brahim and Camavinga.
What the result leaves before Atlético-Barcelona
The win allows Madrid to match the leader on points, but Barcelona still has to play its match of the matchday. The 0-3 does not determine who will finish first this weekend.
Atlético hosts Flick’s team with two points fewer than the Azulgranas. If they win, they will overtake them; if Barcelona win, they will widen the gap from Madrid again. A draw would leave Barça with a point advantage over the Whites.
The match at the Metropolitano begins this Sunday, 8 November, at 21:00 peninsular time.
