Real Madrid missed a golden opportunity to put pressure on Atletico Madrid in the La Liga title race. Despite a stellar performance from Cristiano Ronaldo, they were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw at home against Valencia FC.
The draw leaves Real Madrid level on points with Barcelona, who also dropped points in their match against Getafe, and three points behind Atletico Madrid, who suffered a defeat against Levante. With a game in hand to be played against Valladolid, Real Madrid missed a chance to close the gap at the top of the table.
Valencia opened the scoring through Jérémy Mathieu, but Sergio Ramos equalized for Real Madrid in the second half. However, Valencia regained the lead through Parejo, only for Ronaldo to rescue a point for Real Madrid with a late goal in the 92nd minute.
Overall, it was a disappointing result for Real Madrid, who had the better chances in the match but failed to capitalize on them effectively.
