Super Eagles striker Umar Sadiq was on the pitch on Saturday night as Valencia suffered a heavy 3–0 defeat at home against Real Madrid in La Liga.
Making his fifth appearance of the season for Valencia, where he has scored two goals so far, Sadiq put in a decent 59-minute shift up front before being replaced by Dani Gómez.
Real Madrid took control early and broke the deadlock in the 28th minute. Captain Federico Valverde reacted quickest after a Kylian Mbappé free-kick crashed back off the wall, drilling a crisp low strike into the bottom corner from 20 yards out.

José Mourinho’s side doubled their lead just eight minutes later. Jude Bellingham worked his way to the baseline and chipped a cutback that took a deflection, falling kindly for Arda Güler to volley home from six yards.
The visitors maintained total control after the restart and wrapped up the victory 15 minutes from time. Güler turned provider, threading a fine pass to Mbappé, who rounded the keeper to slot home his 13th league goal of the campaign and seal a comprehensive 3–0 win for Los Blancos.
