Mansion Sports – Real Madrid delivered a commanding performance in their Week 11 La Liga fixture of the 2025/2026 season, defeating Valencia 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The emphatic win further solidified Los Blancos’ position at the top of the league table.

Kylian Mbappé was the standout performer, scoring twice in the first half—first from the penalty spot in the 19th minute and later with a close-range finish in the 31st minute. 

Jude Bellingham added a third goal in the 44th minute, while Alvaro Carreras completed the rout with a strike in the 82nd minute, sealing a dominant home victory.

The result marked Real Madrid’s tenth win in eleven matches this season. Under Xabi Alonso’s guidance, the team now sits seven points clear of second-placed Villarreal, while Barcelona have the chance to narrow the gap should they win against Elche.

Mbappé’s Honours and Brilliant Start

Before kickoff, Kylian Mbappé was presented with the European Golden Boot and the La Liga Player of the Month award. Moments later, the French forward demonstrated exactly why he earned those accolades with a world-class display.

In the 18th minute, Real Madrid were awarded a penalty after Cesar Tarrega handled the ball inside the area. 

Mbappé confidently converted the spot-kick, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way and giving his side a 1-0 lead. The goal marked his 12th in the current La Liga campaign.

Less than 15 minutes later, Mbappé struck again. Arda Guler delivered a precise cross from the left wing, and despite the ball arriving slightly behind him, Mbappé managed to redirect it toward the near post with his left foot, beating goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala to make it 2-0. The effort took his tally to 13 league goals this season.

First-Half Dominance by Real Madrid

Real Madrid maintained complete control of the match, creating multiple opportunities to extend their lead. 

They were awarded a second penalty midway through the half, but Vinícius Júnior’s attempt was denied by Agirrezabala, who guessed correctly and made the save.

Just seconds later, Jude Bellingham made amends for his teammate’s miss with a perfectly placed strike from the edge of the penalty area, curling the ball beyond the goalkeeper’s reach. The goal secured a commanding 3-0 advantage for Los Blancos heading into halftime.

Controlled Second Half and Carreras’ First Goal

After the break, Real Madrid opted for a more measured tempo, focusing on ball control and maintaining possession rather than applying relentless pressure. Despite easing their intensity, they remained clinical when opportunities arose.

The fourth and final goal came in the 82nd minute. Following a shot from Rodrygo that was parried by Agirrezabala, Alvaro Carreras reacted quickest to the rebound and struck a powerful right-footed shot into the bottom corner. 

The young defender’s effort found the net, extending Madrid’s lead to 4-0 and marking his first-ever goal for the club.

The convincing victory reaffirmed Real Madrid’s dominance at the start of the 2025/2026 campaign. 

With a balanced squad combining experience and youthful energy, Xabi Alonso’s men continue to demonstrate consistency and composure in their pursuit of the La Liga title.
