A dull first half performance 

Real Mrid were left frustrated in first 30 minutes of game as Real Vallolid defended deeper and deeper and was cutting down every Los Blancos attack. For all of ir possession Real Mrid only ever threatened Vallolid goal once in first half an hour as Kylian Mbappe's volley from a difficult angle was saved by goalie. 

Just like game against Mallorca, first half was filled with frustrations for Real Mrid as y failed to get past defence. midfield and attack looked disjointed as y failed to find final ball.
