Real Madrid failed to win their opening match of the 2024-25 La Liga season last weekend, but seven days on, they’ve picked up their first three points. They did so in unconvincing fashion, securing a 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Match Report
It was a disappointing opening 45 minutes for Carlo Ancelotti’s side. They failed to create many clear-cut chances, with only one of note seeing Kylian Mbappe denied by Valladolid goalkeeper Karl Hein. La Pucela were defensively excellent in the Spanish capital, but five minutes into the second half, they were breached.
Like he did in the UEFA Super Cup final, Federico Valverde broke the deadlock for Real Madrid. He bulleted a free-kick into the far corner from 25 yards out, and a deflection on its way left Hein with no chance.
The shackles were broken for Real Madrid after that goal. They pushed for a second, but somehow, it did not come. Arda Guler was denied on multiple occasions, while Rodrygo also messed up a glorious opportunity. Despite this, it did come late on courtesy of substitute Brahim Diaz.
It got even better for Real Madrid in the dying stages as Endrick Felipe scored his first goal for the club – a momentous moment for the teenager.
Real Madrid have now secure their first win of the league season. At this early stage, they are two points behind leaders Celta Vigo and Barcelona.

⚪️🇧🇷 Endrick becomes the youngest foreign player to score for Real Madrid in the entire history of La Liga. 18 years, 35 days. 10 mins played, one goal.

wow. question was Mbappe but the answer is Brahim and Endrick. . well. Mbappe has to play on left wing. otherwise we won’t see the real mbappe for sure. for my opinion vini in the middle and mbappe to the left.

Vinicius and mbappe should be on the bench while Diaz and endrick start…. I was saying endrick don’t have a place in Real Madrid but he prove me wrong, shout-out to him 🫡🫡🫡

That is football. Everyday can't be the same.They will team up and break records
Same people was talking against Haaland but Haaland started to break record since the first appearance. I start believing that Haaland is truly a goal machine.

He’s not popular so that is what will happen. I personally wanted him at City when Bernardo wanted out last year
