The final matchday of the 2024/2025 Liga F season brought fans an exciting face-off: Valencia vs Real Madrid. Despite different fortunes through the season, both teams delivered a memorable contest that closed this football chapter with flair.

The Season Context

As the whistle blew, Valencia found themselves relegated, capping a challenging campaign. They managed only five wins and ended as the league's bottom team. In contrast, Real Madrid stepped onto the pitch firmly in second place, having already matched their all-time best point tally and clearly hungry to finish strong.

The clash wasn't just another game. For Real Madrid, it was an opportunity to break their own points record. Valencia, on the other hand, played for pride in front of their supporters.

Match Recap and Highlights

The encounter quickly turned lively. Real Madrid’s attack pressed hard, creating numerous chances in the first half. Notably, Alba Redondo spearheaded offense, with Linda Caicedo orchestrating plays from midfield. Despite having 14 shots on target in the opening 45 minutes, Real Madrid converted only one, showcasing both offensive persistence and Valencia’s resilient goalkeeping.

The second half saw momentum swing. Valencia began to neutralize Real Madrid and found their rhythm defensively. Still, Redondo managed another goal early after halftime, providing Real Madrid with a cushion and sparking hopes of a record-breaking finish.

However, set-piece vulnerabilities reappeared for Madrid. Valencia capitalized, converting two late corners—one an own goal following a scramble in the box, and the other a decisive finish from Ana Marcos. The game ultimately ended in a 2-2 draw, encapsulating the drama and unpredictability of football.
