Valverde's leadership and contribution were also instrumental, as he scored Madrid's second goal from a well-executed set piece. As the game progressed, substitutions added fresh energy, with Brahim nearly scoring from a corner before Bellingham sealed the victory with a header for Madrid's third goal.
