How was the match between Real Madrid and Valladolid?
The first half saw a lot of ball possession, but few chances created for Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti’s team did not face any scares at any moment but also failed to threaten Valladolid’s defense. The only good opportunity before halftime was with Mbappé, who beat the defense with speed after a pass but failed to finish well.
In the second half, the home team returned with greater determination to seek victory. Just five minutes in, from a set-piece play, Rodrygo passed to Valverde, who shot from outside the area to open the scoring for Real. In the final minutes, Brahim Díaz took advantage of a pass from Militão to double the lead. And in stoppage time, Endrick received the ball at the edge of the area, evaded the defender, and scored a fantastic goal in his official debut for Real Madrid.
