Real beat Valencia at "Mestalla" in a back-to-back match (2:1) and at least temporarily came out on top of La Liga, because Atletico has two points and a game less.

An unreal turnaround by Madrid, who were losing from the 27th minute, when Ugo Duro gave the home team the lead on the debut of the new coach, Corberan.

A lot of interesting things happened in the second half.

First, Jude Bellingham hit the post from the penalty spot in the 55th minute, Real missed a great chance to equalize.

Then, in the 60th, Kylian Mbappe hit the net, but the guests' joy lasted only about 30 seconds, as it took the referees from the VAR room to inform the referee that the Frenchman was offside.

It was the 79th minute when Vinicius Junior pushed the neck and face of the goalkeeper Valencia Dimitrievski, and after another call from the VAR room, the Brazilian was shown a straight red card. Vinicius was so furious that the saigas literally carried him to the tunnel leading to the locker room.

It seemed that that moment would definitely break the match, but in the last ten minutes, miraculous things happened.

In the 85th minute, Luka Modrić, on a pass from Bellingham, came out on his own to Dimitrievski and scored with the top of his boot to make it 1:1.

Ancelotti probably wasn't unhappy with the point either, considering the circumstances, and then deep in stoppage time he got all three.

Bellingham took advantage of a big mistake by Valencia's defense. The 95th minute was played...

However, that was not the end of the excitement, Real had to survive a spectacular shot on the post by Valencia Rioja in the 10th minute of extra time.

Courtois was already defeated...
