The relentless pursuit of the LaLiga crown continues. On a Sunday evening that demanded both patience and clinical precision, Real Madrid secured a vital 2-0 victory against Valencia, extending our incredible domestic winning streak to seven matches. In a stadium that is historically hostile and difficult to navigate, Carlo Ancelotti’s men showed the composure of champions, narrowing the gap at the top of the table to just a single point.
The Breakthrough: Carreras Magic
The first half was a cagey affair. While Real Madrid controlled the tempo, Valencia’s low block proved difficult to dismantle. Kylian Mbappé looked lively from the jump, though a string of missed opportunities in the first hour had the Madridista faithful biting their nails.
However, the deadlock was finally shattered in the 65th minute by the rising star, Álvaro Carreras. In a moment of pure individual brilliance, the youngster took matters into his own hands:
- He picked up the ball on the flank and began a mazy run.
- He danced past three Valencia defenders with elite close control.
- He finished the sequence with a “cunning” right-footed strike that left the keeper stranded.
It was exactly what the game needed—a spark of genius to “liberate” the squad from the tension of a potential draw.
Mbappé Seals the Deal
With the lead established, Los Blancos managed the game with veteran maturity. Valencia pushed for an equalizer, but our backline held firm. As the clock ticked deep into stoppage time, the space opened up for a classic Real Madrid counter-attack.
Brahim Diaz, who provided an immense spark off the bench, carved through the tired Valencia midfield and squared a perfect ball to Kylian Mbappé. The Frenchman made no mistake this time, slotting home his 23rd league goal of the season. It was the perfect exclamation point on a night where his persistence finally paid off.
The Title Race Intensifies
With this result, the message to Barcelona is clear: We aren’t going anywhere. Seven consecutive wins in LaLiga is no small feat, especially with the clinical output we are seeing from Mbappé and the emergence of game-changers like Carreras. The momentum is firmly on our side as we head into the final stretch of the season.
“Winning here is never easy, but this team has the hunger. We believe until the very end.” – An informal sentiment echoed across the locker room tonight.
