In the 30th round of La Liga, Real Madrid dropped crucial points in their title race, losing 2-1 to Valencia, who are fighting to stay in the top flight.

The match started badly for Vinícius Júnior, who missed a penalty in the 13th minute. It was a particularly unlucky moment for the Brazilian winger.

However, the 15th minute proved lucky for Valencia's central defender Muukthar Diakhaby, who scored from a pass by Andre Almeida.

Vinícius Júnior made amends early in the second half, scoring from a brilliant assist by Jude Bellingham.

Real Madrid desperately pushed for a winner, but instead, they conceded a heart-breaking goal in the fifth minute of injury time. Cédric Bakambu Duro scored to give Valencia a sensational 2-1 victory.
