Real Madrid secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid at the Santiago Bernabéu, with goals from Federico Valverde, Brahim Díaz, and Endrick sealing the win.

The first half was a cagey affair, with neither team able to break the deadlock.

However, Valverde’s 50th-minute strike opened the floodgates, followed by Díaz’s late goal in the 88th minute.

The icing on the cake came in the 96th minute, as 18-year-old Endrick became the youngest foreign player to score for Real Madrid in La Liga history, netting on his debut.

Kylian Mbappé, who joined Real Madrid in the summer, failed to make a significant impact on the game, but his teammates picked up the slack to secure the win.

The victory sees Real Madrid move up to sixth in the table with four points from two games.

Real Madrid’s win marks a positive start to their La Liga campaign, and they will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
