Real Madrid Dominate Valencia in 3-0 Rout
LaLiga Round 12 brought Real Madrid to the Estadio de Mestalla on 7 November 2026, where a crowd of 47,914 witnessed the visitors deliver a commanding performance under partly cloudy skies. Valencia, set up in a 5-3-2 by Javier Aguirre, struggled to contain a fluid Real Madrid side managed by José Mourinho. Federico Valverde opened the scoring in the 28th minute, Arda Güler doubled the lead before the break, and Kylian Mbappé added a third after the interval. A late red card for José Gayà compounded Valencia's misery, while goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski's 7.5 rating underlined the hosts' defensive difficulties. Arda Güler earned Player of the Match honors for his goal and assist.
