Los Blancos regained their scoring touch with a 4-1 win over Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu

Just days before the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against rivals Barcelona, Los Blancos regained their scoring touch with a 4-1 win over Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu, creating a more positive atmosphere for the El Clasico.

Here's information about Real's performance:

The ref helped them get started

The penalty that gave Real Madrid the lead via Benzema was an absolutely embarrassing decision. Casemiro had already lost the ball when he entered the penalty area, and all Omar Alderete did was hold the Brazilian at bay, who fell. Alejandro Hernandez call was terrible, it completely changed the game.

Now it must be said that Real Madrid was the stronger team leading up to that point, having just touched the bar via Luka Modric, but it was a gift that they were happy to take advantage of and did.

The attack enters on fire

It was Real Madrid's best overall performance of the season. They are second with 23 shots on target this season and third with four goals in a game, and their xG of 4.00 surpasses their 3.41 against Celta Vigo in September.

They controlled the ball, they dictated the rhythm and with little concern for the defence, Valencia seemed to clear the ball one by one, not trying to build them up well on offence. Benzema and Vinicius Jr both scored twice in the evening, including three in the second half.

Now Ancelotti's form with seven goals in his last two games in all competitions comes at a good time for Ancelotti's side as rivals Barcelona struggled in attack. A club I didn't even know existed last week, Barcelona has scored many goals in just one of their last four games, a Copa Del Rey 32 win over Linares Deportivo.

Real Madrid was the stronger team leading up to that point

The two teams went in opposite directions after dropping points against Granada on Saturday due to a goal awarded in the 89th minute, giving real a psychological advantage.

A little more attention is required when defending

If there's one thing Real Madrid need to do ahead of the Barcelona game, it's to be more careful in their challenge. Eder Militao was shown the yellow card for a silly challenge in the first half and the midfield foul was due to oversight.

Then there was Casemiro, who probably saw a red card before he won the penalty. The midfielder was clumsy in some of his challenges, missing a few players that could lead to two yellow cards.

In the end, Ferland Mendy was awarded a penalty for unnecessarily pulling his shirt into the penalty area with 14 minutes to go.

Ancelotti can live with this because it's just a bit sloppy, but it's just nitpicking after a decisive win at home and they will be victorious every day.
