Güler scores and assists as Real Madrid win at Mestalla to draw level with Barcelona
Real Madrid defeated Valencia 3-0 in a La Liga match, with Arda Güler contributing a goal and an assist to help the team draw level with Barcelona. The match was marked by high tension, resulting in numerous yellow cards and a red card.
Why it matters
The result significantly impacts the Spanish league standings, intensifying the title race between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Arda Güler scored once and set up another as José Mourinho's Real Madrid beat Valencia 3-0 to reach 30 points, level with Barcelona, before the international break. Valencia are second from bottom in their last season at Mestalla.
Federico Valverde put Madrid ahead at Mestalla in the 28th minute on Saturday 7 November 2026. Güler doubled the lead eight minutes later. Jude Bellingham reached the byline and pulled the ball back. Güler met it first time and finished with his right foot.
Güler could have had more. Stole Dimitrievski stopped him twice: a strong shot from the edge of the area in the 43rd minute and a one-on-one in the 54th.
Kylian Mbappé's strike in the 75th minute made it three. That goal stretched his scoring run to seven matches in a row. He has 12 league goals, three behind Barcelona's Raphinha at the top of the scoring chart.
