At the end of the 23rd day of La Liga, Kylian Mbappé’s Real Madrid travels to Valencia. To calm tensions and get FC Barcelona back in the standings, victory is mandatory for the biggest club in the world.
It’s the break! (0-0)
At the end of a tasteless first act, Real Madrid was held in check in Valencia (0-0). Mbappé and Guler tried to put rhythm in the opposing half, without further success.
Without Bellingham and Vinicius, Real are struggling (45th)
Arbeloa’s men are playing without two of their managers on the Valencia side. The lack of creativity in midfield is glaring. Guler tries to find passes between the lines, without more success.
Mbappé in difficulty (43rd)
The Frenchman fails to make any difference in this meeting, little helped by a completely amorphous team.

Gonzalo with his head! (40th)
Cross from the right into the penalty area. Gonzalo rises into the Valencia sky and tries to place a good header, but the ball flies off target.
Camavinga in the clouds (38th)
Strike from the French international midfielder who flies into the stands. Real Madrid offers very poor football in this first act.
Mbappé tries to create (37th)
The French international, in midfield, is looking for solutions in an amorphous team. Lost ball, Valencia can go on the counter.
Real suffers again (34th)
Valencia returns to bring danger into the Merengue area. A final corner finally achieves nothing and Courtois restarts with his foot. Incredibly slow first period.
Bad mistake from Tchouameni (30th)
The French midfielder commits a big attack on Pepelu. He did (very) well, without a yellow card.
Jimenez very close to opening the score! (28th)
Finally a very positive sequence for Real Madrid. Guler finds Mbappé at the entrance to the area, the latter manages to turn around and delivers a marvelous pass into the race of Jimenez, on the right side. The Spanish full-back hits hard but Dimitrievski pushes back!
Madrid sequence (27th)
Arbeloa’s men maintain at the entrance to the Valencia area. No real forward movement at the moment.
Mbappé again! (24th)
The Frenchman is gaining strength in this meeting (and he is the only one). Found at the entrance to the area, the number 10 of Casa Blanca tries to bypass the central defense before striking. It’s too crushed.
Poor technical level (22nd)
On both sides, the losses of bullets continue. Guler cannot find Mbappé in depth, Valencia recovers in the opposing half.
Mbappé strike! (19th)
The Madrid striker is shifted into the penalty area by Valverde on the right side. The control is good, as much as the sequence with a heavy strike close to the ground. The Valencia goalkeeper pushes back.
Mbappé muzzled (16th)
First acceleration from the French superstar, who heads towards the Valencia penalty area before being harshly stopped by Nunez. Behind, Carreras makes the mistake.
A slow-paced meeting (13th)
(Very) shy start to the match from Real Madrid, who are still losing balls in their camp. Valencia took the opportunity to bring danger into the opposing penalty area. Corner to come.
Mbappé touches balls (10th)
The French striker picks up to touch balls and create the game. Corner conceded by the Valencia defense on a blocked cross.
Possession du Real (7e)
Arbeloa’s men finally venture into Valencia’s half. Mbappé is found on the left but is quickly stopped by an aggressive exit.
Madrilenians barely awake (5th)
Like Camavinga’s easy loss of the ball in the middle of the field, the Merengue have not yet entered their match in these first minutes.
Valencia tries (3rd)
The Blanquinegros settle into the Madrid camp and try to find solutions in front of the penalty area. In vain, for the moment.
Here we go!
Kick-off given by the Merengue, who play in blue this evening. Good match with us.
Release of the two training courses

Barça did the job
Easy winner of Mallorca at home this Saturday (3-0), Barça took a four-point lead over its great rival Madrid at the top of La Liga. The Merengue must absolutely react so as not to see the gap set in.

Tasteless game, Arbeloa already contested… Mbappé and his family on the verge of a new crisis
Appearances are deceiving. Real Madrid have won their last six matches in La Liga, clinging to the coattails of leader FC Barcelona. However, he did not cure his ailments, a month after dismissing Xabi Alonso, who therefore only lasted half a season in a club where the pressure of results is beyond measure. The Merengue management has entrusted the reins to Alvaro Arbeloa, 43, until now stationed at Castilla, Real’s reserve team.
