Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid ended in a convincing 3-0 victory for Los Blancos, marking their first win of the new La Liga campaign. After a frustrating draw at Real Mallorca in their opening match, Carlo Ancelotti’s side returned to the Santiago Bernabeu determined to make a statement.
For much of the first half, Real Valladolid put up a strong defensive effort, frustrating Real Madrid’s attempts to break through. However, the visitors’ resilience began to wane after the break.
The turning point in the Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid match came when Vinicius Junior won a free-kick just outside the penalty area. Federico Valverde stepped up and, with a stroke of luck, saw his strike deflect past Valladolid’s on-loan Arsenal goalkeeper Karl Hein, giving Madrid the lead.
Madrid nearly doubled their advantage minutes later with a swift counter-attack, but the Valladolid defense managed to block Arda Guler’s shot. Meanwhile, Valladolid tried to claw their way back, but Thibaut Courtois stood tall, denying any serious threats.
As the game progressed, Madrid piled on the pressure, and in the final minutes, they secured the win with two more goals. Brahim Diaz extended the lead with a sublime lob over Hein after a pinpoint long pass from Eder Militao. Then, in the dying moments, Brahim turned provider, setting up debutant Endrick, who sealed the 3-0 win with a powerful low drive.
This victory in the Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid clash provided a much-needed confidence boost for Los Blancos as they look to build momentum in the early stages of the La Liga season.
