Real Madrid secured a dramatic 2-1 win at Valencia, moving back to the top of LaLiga despite a series of setbacks. Valencia took the lead through Hugo Duro in the 27th minute.

Bellingham missed a penalty early in the second half, and Vinicius Junior was sent off for slapping Valencia's goalkeeper. However, Luka Modric equalised shortly after coming on, assisted by Bellingham. In the seventh minute of stoppage time, Bellingham scored the winning goal.

This victory pushed Madrid to 5,002 LaLiga points, a historic milestone. The match marked Madrid’s first comeback win from a red card and a deficit since 1999. Valencia, with 19 points dropped from winning positions, remain in the relegation zone.
