In the 11th round of the La Liga season, Real Madrid once again demonstrated their dominance, crushing Valencia 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu.
With this emphatic victory, Real Madrid have now won 10 of their 11 league matches this season, drawing just once. They continue to lead the standings with 30 points, showing no signs of slowing down in their pursuit of another league title.
Real Madrid Extend Their Perfect Home Record
Under the management of Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid have been nearly unstoppable, especially at home. The team has played eight matches at the Bernabéu across all competitions this season and has won every single one.
Their consistent performances have once again established the Bernabéu as a fortress where few teams can hope to earn a point.
The balance between offensive firepower and defensive discipline has been the key to their success, with multiple players contributing goals. At the same time, the defence remains one of the stingiest in the league.
Mbappé Scores Twice, Extends His Streak to Eight Consecutive Matches
Kylian Mbappé, who recently claimed last season’s European Golden Shoe, continued his sensational form and was once again the star of the night. In the 19th minute, he calmly converted a penalty to open the scoring, sending the Bernabéu crowd into celebration.
In the 31st minute, he connected perfectly with Arda Güler’s cross, finishing with a clean volley to double Madrid’s advantage. This brace extended Mbappé’s remarkable scoring streak to eight consecutive La Liga matches, cementing his status as one of the most lethal forwards in world football.
However, Real Madrid had a chance to make it three before halftime when the referee awarded another penalty in the 43rd minute.
This time, Vinícius Jr. stepped up to take it, but Valencia’s goalkeeper, Giorgi Mamardashvili, brilliantly saved his shot. The miss denied Mbappé a potential hat-trick opportunity.
Alonso later revealed his displeasure with Vinícius for not letting Mbappé take the spot kick, reaffirming that the French star remains the club’s primary penalty taker.
Bellingham and Carreras Seal the Comfortable Win
Despite the missed penalty, Real Madrid’s momentum never wavered. Just a minute later, in the 44th minute, Jude Bellingham unleashed a powerful strike from distance to make it 3-0.
The English midfielder, who has been one of the standout performers this season, once again proved his ability to deliver in key moments. In the second half, the hosts maintained control of possession, limiting Valencia’s chances while continuing to press forward.
In the 82nd minute, new signing Carreras scored his first goal for Real Madrid, a stunning long-range effort that found the top corner, sealing the 4-0 victory and capping off another commanding performance.
Atlético Madrid and Real Sociedad Also Celebrate Wins
Elsewhere in La Liga, Atlético Madrid continued their strong run of form with a 3-0 home win over Sevilla, extending their unbeaten streak to 10 league matches (six wins and four draws).
Álvarez broke the deadlock in the 64th minute with a composed penalty before substitute Almada added a second in the 77th. In stoppage time, Almada turned provider, setting up Antoine Griezmann’s precise finish to secure the result.
In the Basque Derby, Real Sociedad earned a thrilling 3-2 victory over Athletic Bilbao thanks to a last-minute winner from Gorosabel, keeping them firmly in the top-four race.
