Real Madrid achieved a resounding 3-0 victory against Valencia this Saturday at Mestalla, during the twelfth matchday of LaLiga, to provisionally reach Barcelona at the top of the standings, with 30 points.
Goals from Fede Valverde, in the 28th minute, Arda Güler (36′) and Kylian Mbappé (75′) sealed the victory for the team led by Xabi Alonso, who placed second on goal difference.
Barcelona, leader of the championship, will have the opportunity to regain the advantage this Sunday when it visits Atlético de Madrid, third in the table, in one of the most notable matches of the day.
The match at Mestalla was also marked by tributes to Jesús de Miguel, Tenerife forward who died last Tuesday.
