Real Madrid continued their powerhouse run in the 2025 La Liga season, dominating Valencia 4-0 in an electrifying match at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Saturday, November 1, 2025. Superstar Kylian Mbappe played a crucial role, scoring twice in the first half to secure a commanding lead that kept the pressure on other top La Liga contenders.

🌟 Mbappe Shines with First-Half Double

Kylian Mbappe proved once again why he is considered one of the best players in the world. The French forward opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a clinical penalty following a confirmed handball by Valencia defender Cesar Tarrega. Twelve minutes later, Mbappe struck again, this time with a close-range volley set up by standout teammates Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham.

Mbappe’s brace brought his tally to 13 goals in 11 La Liga matches and 18 across all competitions this season — putting him firmly in the race for Europe’s Golden Boot.

🌟 Team Effort and Tactical Mastery

Real Madrid’s dominance was further illustrated by the contributions of Jude Bellingham and rising star Alvaro Carreras. Just before halftime, Bellingham found the back of the net with a stunning low strike from outside the box, giving Real a 3-0 advantage at the break. In the 82nd minute, Carreras sealed the deal with a superb angled shot — his first goal of the season.

With their 13th win in 14 matches, Real Madrid sits atop the La Liga standings with 30 points — seven clear of Villarreal and eight ahead of Barcelona, who still have a game in hand.

🥅 Valencia’s Struggles Continues

Valencia, now 18th in the table with just nine points, remain winless in their last six league matches and face a tough battle to avoid relegation. Despite keeper Julen Agirrezabala’s efforts, including a key penalty save against Vinicius Jr late in the first half, the team couldn’t keep pace with the defending champions.

🗣️ What the Players Said

“Mbappe is spectacular. We have to enjoy him. May he continue scoring for Madrid,” said Real midfielder Federico Valverde in a post-match interview. “He still has a lot left to achieve, and I have no doubt he will.”

🔜 What’s Next for Real Madrid?

With morale high and fitness intact, Real Madrid is already looking ahead to their next challenge: a crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Liverpool next Tuesday. The squad may opt to rotate slightly, but fans can expect Mbappe and Bellingham to continue leading the charge as Los Blancos seek European glory.
