Not Vinicius nor Rodrygo, without Bellingham, Real Madrid's best player against Valencia

Girona won today against Rayo Vallecano, therefore, they are the sole leaders of La Liga. Now, Real Madrid is facing Valencia CF at the Santiago Bernabeu. Valencia is not having its best season, however they are always complicated. Now, Madrid has a complicated mission, since Jude Bellingham did not play in the match.

Now, Carlo Ancelotti did not save anything in his starting eleven, except for the forced replacement of Jude Bellingham who is injured and Carlo Ancelotti did not want to risk it, but will wait about two weeks until he is 100% recovered. In his place was Brahim Díaz, who already demonstrated a great Braga leveler in the Champions League.

Real Madrid wanted to impose their conditions from the first minute of the match, but Valencia had enough tools to heat them up and hurt them as many times as they could. Carlo Ancelotti was not at all happy to see the performance shown by some of his elements, who in general have not had a great season.

In the opening minutes, exactly at 2 minutes, Dani Carvajal took advantage of a perfect change of front by Toni Kroos, which Dani Carvajal took advantage of and scored a bomb that the rival goalkeeper could not stop. The full-back had faith and did not hesitate twice to kick as soon as the ball was handed to him, allowing the home team to win very quickly.

What's Real Madrid's next match?

After today's match against Valencia, Real Madrid will not play the following weekend, since there is a FIFA break for the national teams. Now, Real Madrid has to wait until Sunday, November 28 to face a match again, and it will be against Cadiz
