  1. Goodnight

    That's me finished now. Read the match report of this game here.

    I'll be back tomorrow for Barcelona v Villarreal at 17:30 GMT.

  2. Here's confirmation that Real are back up the heady heights of fifth. To be fair, they are only three points off top now. Although Sevilla do have a game in hand.

    La Liga.

  3. Get Involved

    #bbceurofooty

    oluwaseun: Isco, best ball dribbler, most technical player we have. FRANCISCO must be a starter. Plain and simple

  4. Real Madrid move up to fifth in the table.

    I'm not entirely sure what I made of that. They weren't particularly good, but it was a relatively straightforward win really.

  5. FULL-TIME

    Real Madrid 2-0 Valencia

    It's all over.

    Three minutes added on.

  8. Real Madrid 2-0 Valencia

    Why are you still here? This one is done and dusted.

  9. Real Madrid 2-0 Valencia

  11. Real Madrid 2-0 Valencia

    Impossible to see a Valencia comeback now as they just pass the ball round in midfield. Not enough urgency.

  12. VAR

    Video Assistant Referee

    Real Madrid 2-0 Valencia

    There's a bit of a VAR check but the goal stands.

  13. goal

    GOAL - Real Madrid 2-0 Valencia

    Lucas Vazquez

    It's all over.

    Real counter from their own penalty area. Dani Carvajal comes forward, finds Isco. He plays it to Carvajal, who passes across to Marco Asensio in the box and Benzema's cross is turned in by Lucas Vazquez from 12 yards.

  14. But don't worry about that because...

  15. Real Madrid 1-0 Valencia

    The last time Real Madrid won a La Liga match without them scoring a goal themselves was on 18 November 2000, when they won 1-0 at Villarreal by an Guillermo Amor own goal.

  16. Real Madrid 1-0 Valencia

    Thibaut Courtois' eye is red from where he saved Michy Batshuayi's shot a few minutes ago.

  17. SUBSTITUTION

    Real Madrid 1-0 Valencia

    Isco and Santiago Solari might not get on, but the Argentine manager has sent the midfielder on after some sideline instructions.

    Dani Ceballos is replaced.

  18. Real Madrid 1-0 Valencia

    It was offside anyway so it wouldn't have counted. Michy Batshuayi is in on goal but his shot is saved by former Chelsea and current Belgium team-mate Thibaut Courtois.

    Bet Batshuayi was glad to see the flag go up.

  19. Real Madrid 1-0 Valencia

    Real midfielder Dani Ceballos is down holding his ankle after a good challenge in the box.

    Valencia play on, Real fans whistle and oh look Ceballos is fine.

  20. Real Madrid 1-0 Valencia

    Free-kick to Valencia as Federico Valverde chops down Geoffrey Kondogbia. But the free comes to not very much.
