(SabaSports) In the second round of the 2024-25 La Liga season, defending champions Real Madrid take on promoted horses Valladolide at the Bernabeu stadium. In the end, Real Madrid scored three goals to beat their opponents 3-0 and ushered in their first win of the season.
The match was closely watched because it was the debut at the Bernabeu of Real Madrid’s new signing Kylian Mbappe. Real Madrid failed to open the scoring in the first half despite facing promoted club Valladolid. Federico Valverde gave Real Madrid a 1-0 lead in the 50th minute with a long-range shot from outside the box. It was the sixth time Valverde has scored from outside the area in the last three seasons, becoming the most by a La Liga player in that period. The match also marked Valverde’s 200th La Liga game.
Mbappe was substituted in the 86th minute, with 18-year-old star Endrick coming on as a substitute and making his Real debut. Ndrick seized the chance and eventually helped his team seal the win. Mbappe, however, failed to score on his Bernabeu debut and has yet to open two games in La Liga.
