Real Madrid secured a valuable 3-0 victory over host Valencia in the twelfth round of the Spanish La Liga, continuing their climb toward the top of the standings. Turkish international Arda G眉ler scored one goal and provided another, contributing to the strengthening of the royal club's position, which raised its tally to 30 points, moving to second place behind league leaders Barcelona on goal difference.
In the same context, Real Madrid continued its winning streak with its eighth consecutive victory across all competitions and fifth in a row in the league. Meanwhile, Valencia's points remained frozen at 9 after suffering its seventh defeat, keeping it in nineteenth place and continuing its struggle in the relegation zone.
Real Madrid began imposing its dominance in the first half, despite Valencia's attempt to open the scoring through Aaron Mayol, whose shot was saved by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, and the referee also disallowed Cesar Tarrega's goal for offside. The royal club regained control when Federico Valverde scored the first goal in the 28th minute, with G眉ler increasing the lead in the 36th minute.
Mbapp茅 added the third goal in the 75th minute after a decisive pass from G眉ler, raising his tally to 13 goals and placing him second in the competition's scoring chart behind Raphinha. Valencia's troubles increased further when Jose Luis Gaya was sent off just four minutes later, depriving Mbapp茅 of a clear scoring opportunity.
