Real Madrid secured an impressive 5-1 victory over Valencia, with Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes each scoring twice. The win keeps Real Madrid closely trailing shock La Liga leaders Girona, who maintain a two-point lead after their 2-1 triumph over Rayo Vallecano. Despite missing key player Jude Bellingham due to injury, Real Madrid delivered what coach Carlo Ancelotti dubbed their finest performance of the season. Vinicius, facing Valencia since a previous incident of racial abuse, showcased his brilliance, while Rodrygo had a standout night, marking a return to form. The absence of Bellingham did not hinder Madrid's attacking prowess, as Dani Carvajal opened the scoring with a spectacular left-foot strike. The Brazilian duo, supported by Carvajal's goal, demonstrated a resurgence in their performance, leaving Ancelotti pleased with the team's complete and well-executed play.
