Another setback for Real Madrid in La Liga. The Merengues missed another opportunity to keep their hopes alive for clinching the Spanish championship title during their late match against Valladolid. Just last Sunday, Ancelotti’s men were held to a draw by Valencia.
They faced a similar outcome on Wednesday against Valladolid, who put up a resilient performance befitting a team fighting for survival in 19th place in La Liga. Real Madrid encountered early difficulties, compounded by the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo to injury. However, they managed to take the lead 1-0 before halftime thanks to a magnificent free kick from Sergio Ramos.
After the break, Valladolid fought back and secured the equalizer in the 85th minute through Osorio. This result reignites the title race, giving Barcelona and Atletico Madrid renewed hope for the final sprint.
