Valencia CF fell to a 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid CF at the Santiago Bernabéu, on LaLiga Matchday 11. In the early stages of the game against the league leaders, Valencia CF showed solid defensive organisation, with fullbacks José Luis Gayà and Thierry Correia alert to intercept the ball from opposition wingers Franco Mastantuono and Vinicius Jr.

Mastantuono’s case is particularly interesting because his early months at Real Madrid were highly promising.
