In the 55th minute, the Madrilenians received a penalty, for a foul on Kylian Mbappé, which Jude Bellingham missed by shooting against the post. Mbappé thought he would equalize in the 59th minute, but he was flagged offside by the VAR.
The second half became complicated for Real Madrid when Vinicius Jr., guilty of a bad gesture against Stole Dimitrievski, was sent off.
Entering the game five minutes earlier, veteran Luka Modric managed to equalize for Real at the end of the match (85th, 1-1). In stoppage time, Jude Bellingham took advantage of an error by the Valencia defense to make it 1-2 (90th + 6).
The post again came to the aid of Thibaut Courtois to prevent Valencia from equalizing with a strike from Luis Rioja.
In the standings, Real Madrid takes the lead (43 points) in the Spanish championship. Valencia remains stuck in the red zone (19th and penultimate with 12 points).

Saudi Arabia
Juventus lost 1-2 on Friday evening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to AC Milan in the semi-final of the Italian Super Cup. Kenan Yildiz (21st, 1-0), Christian Pulisic from the penalty spot (71st, 1-1) and Federico Gatti against his camp (75th, 1-2) scored the goals of the match.
The Turinese took the match in hand and found the opening, quite meritoriously, in the 21st, when Samuel Mbangula, started by Thiago Motta (and released in the 65th), served Kenan Yildiz who shot Mike Maignan (1-0).
AC Milan, which was the first on the bench for Sergio Conceiçao, failed to appear truly dangerous, struggling to develop its game while monopolizing the ball at the end of the first period.
The Milanese returned to the pitch with the same desire to equalize, but Juventus continued to manage, looking to strike on the counterattack. However, the Old Lady did not take shelter and Milan took advantage. In quick succession, Christian Pulisic equalized from the penalty spot (71st, 1-1), before Federico Gatti accidentally deflected the ball into his own net while Michele Di Gregorio was advanced to cut the pass line (75th, 1-2) . The Bianconeri pushed to come back, but were too imprecise.
AC Milan will play Inter in the final on Monday evening in Riyadh.
