After the loss to Villarreal in the league and Barcelona's easy escape at the top, Real arrived in Riyadh in a slightly low mood and without the injured David Alaba and Orleans Tshoumani.
Perlan Mendy and Luka Modric dropped to the bench and Nacho, Lucas Vasquez, Eduardo Camabinga and Rodrigo entered the lineup.
Karim Benzema was at the center of the attacks and also squeezed a penalty from Rai Jommert and Dijk from the penalty spot in the 39th minute, but Valencia were a level opponent and knew how to come back immediately at the start of the second half.
Brazilian Samuel Lino scored 21 seconds after the break and Real took time to recover from the shock.
Only in the final minutes did she reach situations, but ran into Giorgi from Mardashvili who continued to excel even in overtime.
In penalties, he could no longer save against Real's experienced kickers, while on the other hand, Gennaro Gattuso could regret choosing Jumart as the second kicker.
The Swiss stopper sent the ball over the crossbar, Jose Gaya was stopped by Thibaut Courtois and Carlo Ancelotti qualified for another final.
Tomorrow he will also know who the opponent will be.
