Real Madrid Secure Victory With Ten Men Against Valencia

Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham delivered decisive goals on Friday as Real Madrid C.F. overcame Valencia's early lead through Hugo Duro to secure a dramatic 2-1 victory at Mestalla. Despite a missed penalty, a disallowed goal, and a red card for Vinícius Jr., Madrid proved their resilience, starting 2025 with a thrilling comeback to reclaim the top spot in LaLiga.

First Half: Valencia Strikes First

The match at Mestalla was more than just a football game; it was an eventful evening filled with high emotions. Before kickoff, Valencia honored Real Madrid CF for their support during the DANA disaster, even as fans outside protested against the club’s management.

On the pitch, Valencia’s new coach Carlos Corberán adopted a defensive three-center-back formation against Madrid, who welcomed Vinícius Jr. back into the lineup. The stakes were clear: Valencia needed points to escape relegation, while RMA sought to assert their dominance at the league summit.

Valencia struck first in the 27th minute. Thibaut Courtois made an initial save from Javi Guerra’s effort, but Hugo Duro capitalized on the rebound to fire Valencia ahead. Despite multiple attempts, including a one-on-one save by Valencia goalkeeper Dimitrievski against Vinícius Jr., Madrid went into halftime trailing.

Second Half: Real Madrid's Resilient Comeback

The second half brought chaos and excitement. Mbappé earned a penalty in the 53rd minute, but Jude Bellingham’s shot hit the post, leaving Mestalla roaring. Moments later, Mbappé thought he had equalized, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

The game’s intensity peaked in the 76th minute when Vinícius Jr. was sent off after a VAR review revealed his retaliation against Dimitrievski. Despite being a man down, Real Madrid C.F. showcased their resilience.

Luka Modric equalized in the 81st minute with a clever finish, silencing the Valencia crowd. Then, deep into injury time, a defensive blunder by Guillamón allowed Bellingham to score the winner, securing a dramatic victory for RMA.
