Five Bullet Points From Real Madrid’s Win Over Valencia

Managing Madrid's Kiyan Sobhani shared five post-match tactical observations following Real Madrid's dominant victory against Valencia at Mestalla. Sobhani praised the defensive solidity of the backline quartet comprising Fede Valverde, Ibrahima Konate, Dean Huijsen, and Marc Cucurella, while crediting manager Jose Mourinho for creating a unified, professional side capable of breaking down low defensive blocks.

The writer also expressed concern regarding heavy minutes given to Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe before the international break due to late substitutions. Additionally, Sobhani questioned whether Vinicius Junior should immediately return to the starting lineup following his suspension, arguing that Real Madrid currently looks more structured without him.
