Cavani wakes up Valencia

The first opportunity for the Ches came through the mediation of their striker, who headed Gayà's cross and forced Courtois into the first great save of the match.

The goalkeeper has been close to putting his team in trouble the next play in a one-on-one against Lino in which the referee has not seen a penalty.

Cavani's header seems to have woken up his team, which has raised the intensity and has stepped on the opponent's area more in the last minutes than at the start of the game.

Benzema and Valverde warn seriously

Superstar play by the French striker, who was a span short of opening the scoring.

His zigzag in the area left two defenders, it left him before Mamardashvili, but he couldn't find the goal as he was so tilted.

In the next play, the Uruguayan tried his luck with a powerful shot from the front that missed the post.

Madrid seriously warns against a Valencia that seems at the mercy of its rival in these first minutes.

Valencia gets stuck

Gatusso's team is having a hard time leaving in the first minutes, very withdrawn and with too much field ahead until they reach Courtois' area.

Kluivert is being the main way out with a run down the wing against Lucas Vázquez, but the Real Madrid player has the help of Militao to avoid scares.

Cavani is an island up front and at the moment, he is not being able to with either the Brazilian or Rudiger, the couple chosen by Ancelotti to replace Alaba's loss.

Without the Austrian, we will see how Madrid manages the release of the ball and if the German leaves any of the typical snatches from him.

First scare and rowing

Madrid had the first approach in a dead ball that was left between Mamardashvili and Benzema, but finally the goalkeeper arrived in time to clear it.

Once they have stepped into the area, the whites are trying to control possession in their half to attract Valencia and create space behind them.

Gattuso's men try to press high but they are not getting a reward for their efforts at the moment.
