Where to watch
- Valencia vs. Real Madrid will air in the US on ESPN Select.
Real Madrid will look to maintain the pressure on league leader Barcelona as it travels east to face a Valencia team looking to bounce back from its midweek cup disappointment.
Madrid edged past nine-man Rayo Vallecano in a fiery encounter last Sunday, but that result came at a cost. Key midfielder Jude Bellingham sustained a hamstring tear that looks set to sideline him for a month, while Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior picked up a fifth yellow card of the season for dissent — earning him a suspension for today’s game.
Just one point, meanwhile, separates Valencia from the relegation zone, and morale among Los Che won’t have been helped by their midweek Copa del Rey defeat at home to Athletic Club.
Valencia takes on Real Madrid at Mestalla Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 8. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET local time, which is 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, 8 p.m. GMT in the UK and 7 a.m. AEDT in Australia on Monday morning.
Kylian Mbappé’s penalty strike deep into injury time earned Real Madrid a vital 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano last Sunday.
