Headline: Real Madrid Claims Eighth Consecutive Win Under Mourinho’s Leadership
Real Madrid has experienced a significant turnaround in form over the past month, with their latest triumph showcasing their improved performance. The team celebrated a 3-0 victory against Valencia at Mestalla last night, marking their eighth consecutive win.
Los Blancos have benefited from tactical adjustments made by Jose Mourinho, resulting in noticeable enhancements in team dynamics and discipline. As reported by MARCA, Mourinho has transformed the squad into a more cohesive unit following a challenging start to his second tenure in Madrid.
Mourinho’s Real Madrid Growing Stronger Collectively
During their winning streak, Madrid has netted a total of 24 goals, averaging three per match while securing three clean sheets. This impressive run includes crucial victories over rival Barcelona in El Clasico as well as wins against Roma, RB Leipzig, and AEK Athens in the Champions League.

Los Che initially pressured Madrid but goals from Fede Valverde, Arda Guler, and Kylian Mbappe ensured the home side walked away with three points.
A critical development for Real Madrid is their reduced reliance on individual talent, showcasing a more collective approach this season. The attacking quartet of Mbappe, Guler, Diomande, and Bellingham has displayed excellent synergy, allowing them to complement each other’s skills.
Mourinho’s Defensive Demands Making the Difference
One significant moment from the Valencia match highlighted the defensive shift under Mourinho’s guidance. When Guler was out of position due to a lost ball, Mbappe quickly covered the gap to help restore the team’s defensive integrity. This dedication marked a shift from earlier criticism about his defensive contributions.

With this shift in mentality, players are now prioritizing team performance over individual accolades. Mourinho will be pleased to see that his objectives are nearly met.
Looking ahead, the return of Vinicius Jr. from suspension poses an interesting challenge for Mourinho as he works to reintroduce the player into the squad. Finding a way for Vinicius to excel within the team structure could make Real Madrid even more formidable as the season progresses.
