It was a great performance by Real Madrid last night surely. I was expecting Real Madrid to win this match firstly but maybe it would have been by a close difference. But Real Madrid had no intention to do such thing. They literally demolished Valencia by a 4-1 score. Benzema and Vinicius Junior were just superb. Each one of them scored two goals in this match. And Benzema has consolidated his lead in the top scorers standings by 17 goals. He scored this amount of goals in 20 matches which is really impressive. It is like Benzema is having even his best performance in a season maybe.

I somewhat thought that Valencia might give a hard time to Real Madrid but they got smashed by them Cheesy

.
Both Benzema and Vinicius got 2 goals each and Benzema converted a penalty as well. Benzema seems like he is playing his best season as Real seems like crippled without him. Guedes returned a goal in the 76th minute, but till then Real had already won the match and there was nothing Valencia could do then.

Massive performance from brilliant duo Benzema and Vinicius. They have been incredible for Madrid this season. Benzema is really playing fine but i have to give credit to Vinicius Jnr. He has improved every aspect of the game specially the decision making, doing the right thing at the right time is what makes you different and good. I remember that he used to dribble unnecessarily but now he doesn’t do that anymore. Another reason behind his improvement is the chemistry between Benzema and him. Now they two understand each other like never before and as if they have played together for many years. The pair have combined for 29 La Liga goals this season, Benzema hitting 17 and Vinicius scoring 12. That total rises to 36 goals across all competitions. I hope they stay on form and avoid injury till they face PSG in the UCL.

I remember that Vinicius almost got faded away under Zidane but Anchelloti has turned him into a beast.
I heard in one interview that Anchelloti has just given him one tip, which - "don't touch the ball more than once in the penalty area."
This means that he told him to shoot as soon as he is close to the goal area and now we can see how well Vini Jr has turned out to be. He is assisting and also scoring a lot of goals this season. In fact, he along with Benzema are both on top of the scoring list. Benzema scored 17 goals and Vini Jr scored 12. Incredible evolution of Vinicius in my eyes.

Atletico Madrid are really playing like a total different team from last year, sitting on the 4th position with 33 points the same point with Real Sociedad and just 1 point ahead of Barcelona who’s on 32 points and 16 points behind read Madrid who accrues the 1st position, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona really fell apart this season. Although Barcelona’s position is a bit understanding with all the crises happening in the club and loosing some important players, they know they wouldn’t be able to compete for the title this time around.
But Atletico Madrid are lacking behind in the league thus far and as for Real Madrid, they have been so good this season and I respect them a lot, from the manager down to all the players

Barca will still need at least 2 more seasons to get back on good form. They have problems in every department. They lack a good striker. They don't have a well-experienced midfielder who can dictate the game. Busquets is getting old and so is Pique in defense and Umtiti is out of form. Ter Stegen is also not so good as he used to be at a time. And an unfortunate result from ATM. Hope they can fix their mistakes and get back to the top 4 again.
