Valencia CF’s LaLiga Matchday 12 game against Real Madrid ended in a 0-3 defeat at Mestalla.

Real Madrid players protested every move made to halt their advances toward goal. Referee Hernández Maeso awarded a free kick to the visitors for a foul on Kylian Mbappé, just outside the penalty area, and whilst the initial effort was blocked, Fede Valverde scored from the rebound.
Eight minutes later, Arda Güler added a second goal for Real Madrid.
Three minutes before the end of the half, Stole Dimitrievski made an excellent save to keep a shot from Güler from outside the box at bay.

In the 75th minute, Mbappé scored the third goal for Real Madrid CF on a counterattack.
