Mbappé Shines With Two Goals As Madrid Thrash Valencia At Home

Real Madrid delivered a dominant performance at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday night, crushing Valencia in a one-sided encounter that highlighted the brilliance of Kylian Mbappé. The French superstar scored twice as Los Blancos stormed to a commanding victory, maintaining their lead in the La Liga title race.

From the opening whistle, Madrid looked sharp and determined. Mbappé wasted no time in making an impact, finding the net in the 14th minute after linking up beautifully with Jude Bellingham. The goal sent the crowd into a frenzy as Madrid’s fast-paced attack overwhelmed Valencia’s defense.

Just before halftime, Mbappé doubled the lead with a clinical finish from the edge of the box, leaving the goalkeeper rooted to the spot. His calm control and precise strike reflected the confidence of a player in peak form.

However, not everything went perfectly for Madrid. Brazilian forward Vinícius Jr. missed a penalty early in the second half, denying himself a chance to get on the scoresheet. The miss did little to affect the outcome, but it became a talking point among fans and analysts after the match.

Valencia struggled throughout the game, managing only a few shots on target as Madrid’s defense, led by Antonio Rüdiger, stayed solid. Midfielder Federico Valverde controlled the tempo in the center, distributing the ball effortlessly and launching attacks that kept Valencia pinned in their own half.

Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical setup once again proved effective, combining pace, pressing, and quick transitions. The coach praised his players’ teamwork and discipline after the match, saying, 

“We played the kind of football that defines Real Madrid — smart, attacking, and full of energy.”

Mbappé’s performance was particularly impressive. The two goals took his season tally to 18 in La Liga, further establishing him as the league’s top scorer. His chemistry with Bellingham and Rodrygo continues to develop, making Madrid’s attack one of the most feared in Europe.

For Valencia, the loss was another setback in an already difficult season. Their manager admitted that Madrid’s quality was too much to handle, emphasizing the need to regroup before their next fixture.

The victory puts Real Madrid comfortably at the top of the league table, extending their unbeaten run at home. With fixtures against Barcelona and Atlético Madrid approaching, this win boosts both morale and momentum for the defending champions.

As fans celebrated Mbappé’s masterclass, attention quickly turned to whether Madrid can maintain this level of dominance throughout the season. If Sunday’s performance was any indication, Los Blancos look ready to fight for silverware on all fronts once again.
