"We are competing, we have had a good first half, we tried to make the most of the ones we had and we are going for the three points in the second half. What we need is more composure in the final third, but I see the team with a good attitude, the team is together and confident, and we have to keep going like this," said Copete at half-time, speaking to DAZN.

Valencia sat in a compact block and looked to break quickly after regaining the ball, although they created no clear chances.

Real Madrid spent more time around the box, but their incursions were tame and dealt with by the Valencia defence.

The tempo was intermittent, with few moments of danger and plenty of play condensed in midfield.

At the interval it was 0-0, a first half shaped more by tactics and prudence than by spectacle.
