Güler scores and assists as Real Madrid beat Valencia 3-0 at Mestalla

Arda Güler scored one goal and set up another as Real Madrid won 3-0 at Valencia on Saturday 7 November 2026, according to a Football España report. The result took Madrid to 30 points, level with Barcelona before the international break.

Federico Valverde put Madrid ahead in the 28th minute, and Güler doubled the lead eight minutes later, finishing first time with his right foot after Jude Bellingham pulled the ball back from the byline. Güler was denied twice by goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski, and Kylian Mbappé made it three in the 75th minute, extending his scoring run to seven consecutive matches. Mbappé has 12 league goals, three behind Barcelona's Raphinha.

Madrid dominated the match with 68% possession, 19 shots to Valencia's four, and an expected-goals advantage of 2.39 to 0.26. Valencia committed 26 fouls to Madrid's six, and seven yellow cards were shown, four of them in a two-minute spell after a red card. The report said Valencia considered the punishment for Gayà's challenge on Mbappé harsh.

The defeat leaves Valencia second from bottom with two wins from 12 league games, above only Málaga, in their final season at Mestalla. Coach Aguirre, who has one win from five league games in charge, told EFE he was worried about failing to win any of his three home matches. Barcelona sit top on goal difference having played 11 games to Madrid's 12, with Atlético Madrid third, two points behind with a game in hand.
