Real Madrid's winning run continues. Counting the Champions League, La Liga and all other competitions, Real Madrid have now won all of their last eight matches. Last night they recorded another commanding win over Valencia in La Liga.

Real won 3-0 away at Valencia. Three different players scored the three goals, one of them Kylian Mbappe. Real coach Jose Mourinho was full of praise for the performances of Mbappe and Arda Guler.

Federico Valverde scored the team's first goal in the 28th minute. Arda Guler scored in the 36th minute. In the 75th minute, Mbappe scored from Guler's assist.

Guler contributed to two of Real's three goals. As well as scoring himself in the 36th minute, he set up Mbappe's goal in the 75th minute.

After the impressive win, Real coach Jose Mourinho showered praise on his players, saying, 'The team is very strong. Their understanding is excellent. The team has the potential to do something good.'

Sometimes it is late magic, sometimes it is dominance, but Real Madrid keep winning. At home and away, the team is winning everywhere. The workload on Real Madrid is not small either. The Spanish side regularly has to change venues. Even so, Mourinho is delighted with his players' commitment.

Mourinho also mentioned a moment from the second half of yesterday's match against Valencia, when Mbappe quickly won the ball back and scored even after losing possession. Mourinho said, 'Speaking of what you mentioned, a moment from the second half comes to mind. We could not keep the ball. Arda Guler was out of his designated position. Then Kylian Mbappe quickly ran in and filled the empty space on the right flank. In my opinion that is a good example.'

It is not just yesterday's match. Mbappe has been superb all season. In 16 matches in all competitions for Real Madrid this season, he has scored 17 goals and provided 3 assists.

With 10 wins and 2 defeats in 12 matches, Real Madrid sit second in the La Liga table on 30 points. Barcelona, at the top, also have 30 points, but the Catalans lead on goal difference. They have played 10 matches. Atletico Madrid are third with 28 points from 11 matches.
