2025 is off to a great start for Real Madrid! This evening, Maison Blache faced Valencia in a late match of the 12th day of the championship. However, victory took a long time to emerge for Real Madrid. Trailing 1-0 after half an hour of play after a goal from Hugo Duro, the locals undermined Kylian Mbappé’s partners in the first period. On the other hand, in the second act, the Merengue moved forward again and worked hard to get back to the score. And it was the dean Luka Modrić who sounded the revolt before Jude Bellingham brought down the ax after a huge blunder by the Valencia defense. At a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti still does not know how his team won.
“We were so bad in the first half”
Present at the post-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti returned without any tongue-in-cheek on the first period of his little protégés: “We were so bad in the first half I couldn’t believe my eyes. We were horrible in the first half and amazing in the second half.” Subsequently, El Mister was keen to praise Jude Bellingham who missed a penalty, but who knew how to react perfectly afterwards: “Jude had extra motivation after missing the penalty. Only Jude Bellingham can play like he did in the second half. He was very good. His goal was a reward.” Strong words for one of the saviors of Real Madrid this evening.
