Real Madrid beat Valladolid, Mbappé silent once again

Real Madrid have had their first win at the Bernabeu this season. This Sunday evening, the Madrid club won 3-0 against Valladolid in the 2nd day of La Liga.

Federico Valverde, Brahim Diaz and Endrick found the back of the net and gave their team the three points.

A success that allows Real Madrid to win its first league match of the season and to temporarily take 3rd place in the standings with 4 points behind Celta de Vigo and FC Barcelona who have 6 points.

A starter at the forefront of the Madrid attack, Kylian Mbappé

did not find the back of the net for his first match in the Madrid den.

For Valladolid, it is a small setback after the victory on the first day against Espanyol of Barcelona.

Real Madrid uninspired in first half

Real Madrid were highly anticipated in this match for this first home game of the season. However, Kylian Mbappé’s teammates struggled to get going in this first half. Faced with a well-organized Valladolid defense, Carlo Ancelotti’s men had difficulty destabilizing the opposing block.

Despite a clear situation from Kylian Mbappé, the Merengues did not create many situations in this first period. Players like Vinicius or Rodrygo lacked inspiration.

Valverde unlocks the game, Real freed

As soon as they returned from the locker room, Real Madrid players put more impact and intensity into the duels. A few minutes after returning from the locker room, Federico Valverde freed his team with a free kick (1-0, 50th). A goal that did the Casa Blanca some good, who would subsequently better control their subject in the game.

At the end of the match, the European champions put the nail in the coffin thanks to Brahim Diaz who came on for Arda Guler (2-0, 88th) and the young Brazilian Endrick (3-0, 90+6) who came on for Mbappé who scored his first goal in his new colours. Two cool goals for two substitutes who undoubtedly scored points with the coach.

Real Madrid travel to Las Palmas this Thursday for the 3rd day of La Liga.
