Mbappé All Smiles in Madrid as China Backlash Continues

Real Madrid will be expecting to pick up an eighth consecutive victory across all competitions when they visit struggling Valencia in La Liga on Saturday. Jose Mourinho's team have won ten of their last 11 games in total, and three points at Estadio de Mestalla would lift 'Los Blancos' to the top of the standings - at least until Atletico Madrid host Barcelona on Sunday. Real can move level on points with current leaders Barca and go top on head-to-head points following the 2-1 win in 'El Clasico' at Camp Nou two weeks. Valencia currently sit second from bottom, but come into the match on the back of their second La Liga win of the season after beating hosts Elche 1-0 last Sunday.
