VALENCIA. Real Madrid missed the leap to the top of the table in the Primera División! After their last nine unbeaten away games in LaLiga, the Madrid side lost a disastrous 4-1 win at Valencia CF on Sunday night, which had the worst start to the season since 1999/2000 with a score of eight points. For the first time in the history of the league, the Blancos have caused three penalties and for the first time since the 1995/96 season (3: 4 at the time) there are four goals against Real in Mestalla. A defeat historically but also deserved.

Marcelo, Modrić, Isco and Vinícius begin

Los Blancos traveled with a small staff of only 19 most professional first team Sergio Santos, Castile’s 19-year-old right-back, away on matchday nine of LaLiga at Valencia CF. After Daniel Carvajal (inner band), Álvaro Odriozola (calf), Nacho Fernández (thigh) did not get back into shape in time, Eden Hazard and Casemiro were infected with the coronavirus as well as Éder Militão. Compared to the 3-2 victory in the week in the Champions League against Inter, Zinédine Zidane got with Marcelo, who played for Ferland Mendy, Luka Modrić, who was preferred to Toni Kroos, Isco, who took over from Casemiro , and Vinícius, who served as Hazard, made four changes. Tactically, this should be reflected in a 4-2-3-1.

Benzema brings Real worthy of being seen in the front

Real Madrid wanted to live up to their role as favorite from the start. The Merengues in the first minutes with much more pressure forward, they try for the first time in the person of Modrić in the 13th minute of play the Valencia goalkeeper Jaume Doménech with a low shot from the second row. The Blancos continue their offensive impulse, an Isco cross in the 18th minute just missed Marco Asensio and Karim Benzema in the penalty area. Until now, Valencia had little to oppose and received the receipt for this in the 23rd minute of the match. After the combination of Vinícius, Benzema and Marcelo, the ball finally landed on the Frenchman, who pulled away on the penalty line, straightened the ball and threw it into the far right corner from a good 17 meters.

Valencia goals in the first half thanks to VAR

But then the game should really pick up speed, but to the detriment of the Blancos. In the 29th minute, Valencia full-back José Gayá moved to the left wing and made a mid-height cross that hit Lucas Vázquez’s right arm. As a result, referee Jesús Gil Manzano quickly decided a penalty for the hosts. In the first attempt Carlos Soler only missed Thibaut Courtois, put the edge on the right post before run-in Yunus Musah put the ball into the goal on the sidelines. The alleged compensation for “Blanquinegros ”, Musah had not sprinted in the penalty area ahead of Soler’s penalty. So Gil Manzano had the scene repeated. It took over five minutes (35th) for Valencia to finally be certain and equalize with Soler’s second attempt, which he has now hit from the bottom left.

Javi Gracia’s men had entered the game much better with the goal and subsequently continued their efforts in attack. After Real no longer acted particularly dangerously up front, there was renewed excitement in Madrid’s defense just before half-time in the 44th minute of the match. Maxi Gómez had penetrated on the right flank and had brought a nice cross that Raphaël Varane rejected impurely and sent dangerously high into the Courtois box. Neither the goalkeeper nor the center-back quickly took the playing device off the line before Varane knocked the ball out. After checking the VAR it became clear: the ball was close, but well over the line: the 2-1 at half time for Valencia.

Soler completes the penalty hat-trick and Real’s debacle

After the break, Valencia resumed where they left off at the end of the first 45 minutes. Just two minutes from the restart, Lee Kang-in was able to detach Sergio Ramos, among others, with a remarkable twist and dangerously place the finish line on the right post from afar. Courtois was just touching his fingertips before. Another whistle blew in the 51st minute: another penalty! What happened this time? Gaya made his way through the penalty area and crossed, with Marcelo hitting Gómez and not the ball in an attempt to free. This time Soler placed the next penalty (54 °) in the lower right corner.

The royals still didn’t want to let go, after all there was still enough time on the clock. Modrić sent a formidable pass in depth to Asensio in the 59th minute, who failed alone in front of Doménech. But how could it be otherwise soon after? The hosts received another penalty just a minute later after a Sergio Ramos handball. Once again it was Soler who didn’t give Courtois any chance (63.) and made his penalty perfect.

Zidane started the substitution in the 64th minute, putting in Martin Ødegaard and Rodrygo Goes for Asensio and Vinícius. Ødegaard came on the scene shortly after his replacement in the 68th minute of the match, in which he served Vázquez, who failed in front of Valencia’s goal. “Zizou” made another change in the 76th, bringing Mariano Díaz and Toni Kroos for Benzema and Valverde. In the 83rd Luka Jović, who came for the weak Isco, also got his short playing time. Not even the substitutes could do anything. After 90 minutes a historic 4: 1 was on the Mestallas scoreboard – a disappointing performance from the white ballet, which is the highest gossip so far in Valencia. Furthermore, the failure is the second defeat in the current competition after 0: 1 against FC Cádiz.
