Real Madrid 4-0 Valencia, Lead Seven Points

Real Madrid beat Valencia 4-0, stretching their lead atop LaLiga to seven points. Jude Bellingham scored for a third straight game, Kylian Mbappé netted a brace (one from the penalty spot), Álvaro Carreras added a late fourth and Vinícius Júnior had a penalty saved. The win gives coach Xabi Alonso scope to rotate and rest players ahead of a crucial Champions League trip to Liverpool midweek. Real remain hampered by defensive injuries to Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba, with Trent Alexander-Arnold a likely option at right-back. The result consolidates Real's domestic title charge while Alonso balances rotation and injury management.
