In the 36th minute, Madrid doubled their lead through a well-executed attacking play. Jude Bellingham reached the byline and delivered a pull-back that Guler converted with a precise right-footed shot.

Mbappe also had several opportunities after the break, with the Valencia keeper making consecutive saves in the 56th and 58th minutes.

Real Madrid continued to press, and Bellingham nearly extended the lead in the 65th minute after dribbling past three defenders, but Dimitrievski was again up to the task.

Finally, in the 75th minute, Mbappe scored, thanks to a brilliant assist from Guler, who controlled the ball expertly before setting up the French star, making it 3-0. This goal marked Mbappe's seventh consecutive match with a goal.
