  "account": "Real Madrid secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Valencia at Mestalla, extending their impressive run of eight consecutive wins across all competitions. The encounter was marred by controversy, involving Valencia defender Pablo Maffeo, who has a history of heated exchanges with Los Blancos.\n\nMarcelo, a Real Madrid legend, couldn't resist taking a dig at Maffeo on social media, referring to him as 'Masfeo' and commenting on the Valencia defender's vendetta against Madrid. Maffeo received a yellow card for a foul on Kylian Mbappe, leading to a free-kick that was eventually scored by Fede Valverde.\n\nThe former Real Madrid star Maffeo was visibly frustrated with the refereeing decision and criticized the referee during his half-time interview.

Despite the incident, Real Madrid's players celebrated their well-deserved victory, setting them up for strong form heading into the November international break.",
