Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid Team Overview

Real Madrid

Following their triumph in the Supercup against Atalanta, Los Blancos were expected to get their first victory in La Liga. However, Mallorca showed determination and held the opponents to a 1-1 draw. Despite a dominant first-half performance, Real Madrid allowed too many errors in the second half and eventually lost valuable points.

After finally signing Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid is widely regarded as the main contender for a second consecutive La Liga title. According to Transfermarkt, the squad boasts three players worth over $190 million, leading some to describe this as the beginning of a new Galacticos era. However, the first match did not yield the desired result.

Against Mallorca, Real Madrid were mostly affected in the midfield. Toni Kroos’ departure illustrated the weaknesses in this area, as the club lacked creative passes. Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham looked modest and failed to break the deadlock.

Real Valladolid

Real Valladolid made a successful return to the top flight after their relegation in the 2022/2023 season, starting their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Espanyol. Raul Moro, recently acquired from Lazio, was the match’s only scorer, securing the win in the first half.

However, Espanyol were dangerous in the attack and in the second half, a dangerous counterattack was thwarted by Valladolid’s defenders and secured their victory.

Looking ahead, Valladolid’s primary goal this season is to secure their place in La Liga and avoid another relegation battle. However, against Real Madrid, they will have slim chances of getting a positive result, although they will come out on the field with maximum motivation.
