Real Madrid produced a tactical masterclass at Mestalla, securing a comfortable 3-0 win over Valencia. Goals from Fede Valverde, Arda Guler, and Kylian Mbappe ensured Jose Mourinho's side kept pace at the top of LaLiga.
Trent Alexander-Arnold joined Real Madrid to become their first-choice right-back, but under Jose Mourinho he is now watching a midfielder do that job instead. Captain Fede Valverde started there again at Mestalla and smashed in the opener against Valencia, while Alexander-Arnold and summer signing Denzel Dumfries were left out of the starting XI once again.
