Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Santiago Bernabeu last night, Saturday, October 1, was the scene of one of the best performances of the season for Real Madrid; the match ended with a 4-0 victory against Valencia and increased the gap between the Whites and Barcelona to eight points.
Mbappe showed off his golden boot with two more goals; Bellingham made a powerful comeback with a brilliant performance and a spectacular assist; Vinicius was included in the starting lineup, missed a penalty but did not cause any problems and treated Xabi Alonso respectfully when he was substituted. Courtois had a quiet night and Carreras completed his brilliance with a beautiful goal. No players were injured, so everything was in place to continue the path to the La Liga title.
The victory was won with absolute superiority and complete satisfaction by Valencia, a team that showed no signs of competition from the start and surrendered to the storm of Real attacks. Valencia, once a serious rival to Real, now shows only a shadow of its past.
Xabi Alonso, by cleverly changing the system to 3-3-4 and using Valverde at right-back, in addition to containing the pressure of the opponent, also managed the recent outbursts of Vinicius. On the other hand, Valencia entered the field with the same eleven players as the previous match, which showed a lack of options in this team.
Real's first goal was scored from the penalty spot after a VAR review; Ind Targa gave Mbappe a chance to score. Bellingham, the undisputed star of the field, played Arda the ball with a precise through ball and Mbappe scored the second goal into an empty net.
Vinicius then saw his second penalty missed by Mbappe, but a few minutes later Bellingham scored the third with a spectacular shot from outside the box to make it 3-0. In the second half, Xabi Alonso brought on Camavinga and Ceballos to rest the main players.
In the final minutes, Andric came on for the first time this season and Vinicius made a complete reconciliation with Xabi Alonso by embracing him as he was substituted. With this victory, Real showed that they were ready for the big battle with Liverpool at Anfield.
