Real won 3–0 at Mestalla on November 7, 2026; Valverde, Güler and Mbappé scored while Stole Dimitrievski made several key saves.
On November 7, 2026 at Mestalla, Real Madrid defeated Valencia 3–0 as goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski again produced a string of impressive saves — but Valencia remained unable to convert his performance into points.
Federico Valverde opened the scoring in the 28th minute to make it 0–1. Eight minutes later Güler doubled the advantage, and in the 75th minute the Turkish player set up Kylian Mbappé for the final 0–3.
Before kick-off there was a minute of silence at Mestalla to honour the late Jesús De Miguel, a solemn moment that touched fans in the stadium.
At half-time Pablo Maffeo gave a short TV interview in which he said, “these kinds of interviews are s**t,” and added that he was not happy with the refereeing.
The team coached by José Mourinho — “The Special One” — once more showed its strength. With this win Real Madrid moved to 30 points, level with leaders Barcelona, although Barcelona have yet to play their round‑12 fixture.
The result reinforced the impression that this version of Real is a serious title contender, while Valencia must rethink how to climb out of a difficult spell in La Liga.
