Carlo Ancelotti’s side endured a disappointing first 45 minutes. They did not create many scoring chances, with only one notable incident when Kylian Mbappe was denied by Valladolid goalkeeper Karl Hein. La Pucela defended well at the Santiago Bernabeu, but five minutes into the second half, their net was breached.
⚽️Ancelotti asked Fede Valverde to take the direct free ƙick. He scored, celebrated with his coach.
-3 games.
-2 goals.
Federico Valverde undoubtedly ɾemains one of the top midfielder.
As in the European Super Cup, Federico Valverde broke the deadlock for Real Madrid. He took a free-ƙick from 25 metres, and the low shot hit the defender’s leg and went in close to the post, leaving Karl Hein with no chance.
Real Madrid tried to ƙill the game off but somehow the goal just didn’t come. Arda Guler was denied several times, while Rodrygo also missed a good chance. Luck finally came to substitute Brahim Diaz in the 88th minute. Even the young Endrick Felipe, who came on in the 86th minute, scored in added time. Only Kylian Mbappe disappointed when he still failed to get on the scoresheet despite many chances created by his teammates. Even in the 85th minute, Mbappe escaped down the left wing without any defenders to catch him, but he clumsily corrected the ball wide of the post in a situation he is good at.
