Hmmm, that's really unexpected !!!
I was thinking about it that Real Madrid would be take the 3 points very easily, but the match ended up equivalent to my thought. Real Madrid has taken the 3 points with Luck. Because Valencia were really good they scored a goal in the earlier minutes and were tussling until the 90 minutes. Even in the dying minutes they made an effort, which the woodwork denied their goal for a late equalizer. Besides that Modric has came to the rescue for real Madrid in 85 minutes which turned the score bored  into 1-1. Thus far the Valencia defense made a mistake to give a gifted goal to Jude Bellingham and this goal makes sure the victory for Real Madrid. But to be honest for me this just a Luck. Real Madrid was not too good they missed a penalty, blah blah. 
 
But anyway, real Madrid has taken the 3 points and now they are partially on the top of the league standings.

The match against Valencia was beyond our expectations beforehand, all of us including me, actually thought that the match would be an easy match for Madrid considering their quality and dominance so far, but it was very surprising for me to see Madrid must to fight very hard to win in the match, even until the 80th minute, Valencia was able to lead the match with score 1-0 before Modric entered after Vinicius received a red card in the minute In the 80th, Modric entry of course changed the game although they were playing with 10 men, because Modric only needed 5 minutes to make draw the score at 1-1, before Bellingham finally sealed victory over Valencia with a comeback and a dramatic goal towards the end of the match.

Real Madrid faced a lot of challenges in their yesterday's match. Against Valencia, that's why everybody was surprised seeing them win that match, because with the pressure that they received right from the first half, I was not hopeful for them; they were able to equalize in that first half since they were leading the entire game with the possession, but their performances were very poor.

But with their much effort, they were able to win at the end of 90+, which was very shocking for everyone, because when Vinicius received a red card, people felt very sad for Real Madrid, which made some people even give hope that they can do something better, but Bellingham saved them by bringing out a positive outcome.

The match was really a great match. Valencia took the lead early in the match and pushed Real Madrid towards defeat. At one point in the match, I almost accepted that Madrid would lose, but Bellingham's brilliant goal brought Madrid back into the match. They used the last minute to win and their victory was great. Maybe the time of the match was not wasted for Real fans.

I don't want to comment on Vinicius' red card at all, because at the end of the day it is part of the game. Maybe the match referee felt the decision was right. Maybe the referee could have been more flexible here. Valencia certainly took advantage of their opportunity and reduced Real Madrid to 10 men. But they couldn't take advantage of this opportunity and snatched the victory from the match. Winning the match with a great performance in the final stage was a relief for Real fans.

Absence of Vinicius Junior up to next four matches, if appeal fails, will cause many difficulty to Real Madrid. It's because Vinicius is very important with Real Madrid attacking system, even they have other star players who can be used as rotation or subsitution for Vinicius Jr. This win with only 10 players is important for Real Madrid and it again shows that they're very strong mentally.

Real Madrid now have 5 points more than Barcelona with same 19 matches, and 2 points more than Atletico Madrid but that competitor have one more match. Real Madrid can lose this first position to Atletico Madrid and with absence of Vinicius Junior, that can be long up to 4 matches, they will have big challenge to keep up their first position. Return of Champions League can bring more pressure on Real Madrid players while they are still recovering from injury crisis.

A very entertaining match. The Valencia players were really great at taking advantage of the moment. One of them was Vinicius' red card. I think the referee was too serious he didn't see the pronoction before the incident. The Valencia goalkeeper gave a clearly visible facial gesture. I think it doesn't have to be a red card but rather a yellow card is very good.  But I'm happy that even though I played 10 men, Madrid was able to win. There is news that Madrid will appeal the Red Card directly. If the appeal fails, maybe Vinicius will have to rest 4 matches.

Real Madrid is back to using dying minutes to achieving victory over their opponents. This was how they were last seaaon when Bellingham just came into the club. He was scoring the dying minute goals to either give Madrid the win or a draw. It seems Bellingham is back to form and wants to start replicating what he did last season in this season. One goal down with a man down didn't stop Madrid from winning the match.

It was a very high tension match, especially because Valencia, who was playing at home, played rough, so it is quite reasonable if some of the Real Madrid players responded in the same way, moreover, they were behind. It's a shame that Vini can't control his emotions, but I agree with you, the Valencia goalkeeper should have also received a card because he was the one who started and carried out the provocation


It's not a great performance indeed and Real Madrid was lucky that Valencia's shot in the last minute only hit the crossbars. Real Madrid will have to really pay attention to who their penalty taker will be in the future.

In the end, Real Madrid won with a score of 2-1, the first half made me think what you said was true that Valencia could win and become a strong contender because they could score a goal first than Real Madrid, this made me lose a little confidence until I almost admitted defeat before the match ended but in the end what I could wait for in the second half could change the situation and yes they changed the situation for the better, started playing more objectively and could score a goal in the 85th minute by Luka Modric, that crazy changed the situation to 1-1 which was previously almost impossible because Vini got a red card earlier, but a few minutes later Bellingham added a goal so that the score was 2-1 in the last minute of the second half, this was a match that was quite tense and desperate.

A little comment on the red card that Vinicius Jr got and maybe on the other hand he deserved it. I mean since the first half Vinicius was more stubborn, complained more, the point is in terms of playing quality he is good but his attitude is always excessive especially at Valencia home ground where the supporters there hate Vinicius quite a bit.

Bellingham is the embodiment of a player who never gives up, his extraordinary mentality, both high and low duels can always be won. After failing to score a goal from the penalty spot, it did not make him depressed, instead he became more on fire. Mbappe again he was always caught offside, Ancelotti needs to give him a special coach in avoiding offside traps. I know he is the fastest running player but if he can't detect the trap it will only make it easy for the opponent to take advantage of it. Modric is the only oldest Madrid player ever at Real Madrid who is able to score a goal.

Everyone didn’t expect Real Madrid to be able to win the game because the game was almost over but Valencia were carried away and decided to have a little play at the back and so it didn’t end well for them. Real Madrid was supposed to struggle after receiving the red card but they ended up scoring a goal and even went on to score the winning goal at stoppage time, I picked Real Madrid to win but i almost gave up that I lost my bet but thanks to Bellingham who rescued my bet. It was an entertaining game with lots of fun moments.

Vinicius needs to learn to control his emotions on the pitch because that was what cost him the Ballon D’or and now he is still at it again. I know the goalkeeper was wrong for what he did but reacting that way as a professional is wrong he almost cost his team the match and the chance of closing the gap between them and Atletico Madrid if they win their outstanding game.

It will be difficult for Barcelona to regain top spot in the Spanish laliga ATM and Real Madrid are in a perfect form, real Madrid at some point were not performing well some many thoughts that is because they have some many star players playing individual game instead of team work Mbappé whom they were expecting to perform well suddenly stop scoring goals but looking at their current form now I believe they are back to the game I even see Real Madrid winning this Spanish laliga tittle their performance yesterday against Valencia shows how are serious they are winning from 1 goals down to equalize and still later won the game playing with 10 men against Valencia 11 men I believe they are full back to form so it will be difficult for FC Barcelona to regain top spot in the Spanish laliga again I believe the tittle race is between Real Madrid and ATM.

 Believe me, yesterday's game was very epic and Real Madrid showed to fans why they are the champions of Laliga and even though they played against a small side, at least the odds where against them enough for them to lose. A missed penalty, a goal ruled out for offside and one of your players being sent off. These are opportunities any team will pounce on against their opponents yet Valencia couldn't capitalize on and I won't be surprised if their fans were more afraid than excited when the goal came in because you could see it on some of their faces that they were terrified about if their players can be able to hold this goal down.
 Real Madrid are presently on top of the table for the time being, depending on if Atletico Madrid's performance.

Alright, yesterday game was a really close one for Real Madrid , one-mill right from the beginning to almost the end,  I believe some gamblers would have lose hope or cash out as the game was looking conclusive with draw at the last minute anyways.. yet once again, they doesn’t seem to surprise even with a one man down, Barcelona had same experience (one -man down) and they conceded two goals in just 12~15 mins. I think some credit need to start going to Bellingham big time as his performance goes barely unnoticeable on the pitch every single game ,  he deserves some rest anyways..

We all expected Real Madrid to win easily. But Real Madrid had to fight hard to win this match. More importantly, Real Madrid was very lucky that's why Real Madrid was able to win this match. After Vinicius Junior got a red card, I thought Real Madrid was going to lose this match for sure. Vinicius Junior got a red card in the 79th minute.

I would say that Luka Modrich saved Madrid in this match. Modrich scored the equalizer in the 85th minute. And this boosted the confidence of Madrid players. As a result, Bellingham was able to score another goal after 90 minutes. And Real Madrid won the match 2-1.

Vinicius' red card was indeed a bit of a highlight but on the other hand we also saw that Vini could not control his emotions, maybe I think it would be fairer for Valencia's goalkeeper to also get the same card as Vini.
I realize that Vini was too emotional because of Real Madrid's very poor front line performance in this match so he felt frustrated, but even with 10 players the Real Madrid team was able to turn things around and win the match, that deserves appreciation.

Overall I was quite disappointed with Real Madrid's performance even though they won because I bet on Real Madrid's handicap -1.5 but Real Madrid's front line was really very bad even though Real Madrid controlled the Ballposition completely but there was no chance that they could convene into a goal, and Real Madrid's victory also had a little luck because of the mistake of Valenia's lower players in the last minutes and that could be utilized well by Jude Bellingham.

I can't agree with you completely. Barcelona has performed badly in the last 5 matches. Barcelona has lost points in several matches. Because of this, Barcelona has lost the top spot in the table. And now Barcelona is in the third place in the table.

Barcelona is 5 points behind Real Madrid. But there is still a long journey ahead. If Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid cannot continue their good performance, then Barcelona may be able to occupy the top spot in the table. Since each team will still play about 19 more matches, it is not easy to continue the good performance for such a long time. So if Barcelona stays on track and can perform well, then Barcelona still has a chance to regain the top spot in the table.

The title race for laliga right now can't be predicted, before now Barcelona was on the top of the league and they were winning their games  consistent but right now Barcelona is nowhere to be found on the top of the league.  Real Madrid is now leading the league,  before now Real Madrid was really struggling with their performance but right now they are leading.

The league is becoming very Interesting and Real Madrid leading is not a guarantee if they will win the league this season, we still have Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, they also tough team in the league and they have better chances of getting the title of league.

And finally Real Madrid has defeated Valencia 2-1 goals and earned three more points. They have now overtaken Atletico Madrid to stand at the top of the qualifying table with 43 points. However, Atletico Madrid still has a match in hand, which could put them back on top if they win. For now, Real Madrid is the leading team among rest of the squads. Whatever, Real Madrid struggled a lot to win over their opponent team cause Valencia gave good compitation to Real Madrid from beginning and tried their best to control the field and defense their opponent from scoring. Real Madrid took several attempts but failed to score any goals. And then Hugo Duro Scored a goal at 27th minutes behalf of Valencia and thus first half ended. After the start of 2nd half, real Madrid keep trying well, they got many opportunities but unfortunately they miss each of these. Vinicius Junior got a red card at 79th minutes although opponent goalkeeper started the thing first, he deserved yellow card also in my opinion. Afterwards finally Luka Modric scored a goal at 85th minutes behalf of Real Madrid and equalized everything. Although Still they weren't safe cause opponent team can score anything and won the Match. and then Jude Bellingham goal just before the end of extra minutes and finally they won
