Valencia's José Gayà was sent off in the 79th minute for a foul on Mbappé, who was through on goal alone. The club's report calls it the eighth consecutive win in La Liga and the Champions League, and says Mbappé has now scored in seven games in a row. The club's preview had listed the previous seven: Villarreal, Sevilla, Barcelona and Racing Santander in the league, Roma, Leipzig and AEK Athens in Europe. Mourinho said afterwards, in the club's own account of his press conference, that winning games has to be the normal state of affairs at Real Madrid, and that this team is very united. Real Madrid have 30 points from twelve games, the same as Barcelona, who have played eleven. Atlético are third on 28, also from eleven.

According to the club's full-time report, Okafor came on for Nmecha in the 77th minute and scored two minutes later, after Harry Wilson flicked the ball on to him; the club says it was Wilson's first Premier League assist. Daniel Farke explained afterwards that the medical staff had limited Okafor to a short spell: "can't bring him on longer than 15 or 20 minutes", as the club's website quotes him. There were no red cards. The report notes an early appeal for handball against Mateus Fernandes, with no penalty given and no VAR intervention, and a long VAR check on a Jayden Bogle challenge on Mathys Tel that cleared Bogle. The attendance was 36,921 and the referee was John Brooks. The club calls it Leeds' first win since 14 September and says Sean Longstaff made his 200th Premier League appearance. Farke's verdict, on the club's website: "There's no replacement for this winning feeling in the dressing room, it's great to have it back."
