Real Madrid 2-0 Valencia: Key Talking Points As Los Blancos Cruise Their Way To A Routine Victory At The Santiago Bernabeu

In what was a routine second-half display at the Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday night, Real Madrid cruised their way to a 2-0 victory against Valencia.

Knowing that they couldn’t afford another slip-up in the Spanish capital, Los Blancos didn’t have to get out of third gear as goals from Marco Asensio and Vinicius Junior clinched all a deserved win on home soil.

Once again cutting Barcelona’s lead at the top of the La Liga table to five points, the reigning Spanish champions also piled more pressure on a Valencia squad who are enduring a domestic nightmare.

With the Bats now claiming just a single point from any of their last five top-flight appearances, Los Murcelagos would have always known that they faced a monumental challenge here.

In a showdown that was largely one-way traffic from the Santiago Bernabeu, we have taken a look at the main talking points.
