Having never stumbled in 16 times hosting Valencia at home, Real Madrid confidently welcomed "The Bats" at Bernabeu with the determination to win all 3 points, creating the premise for the upcoming battle in the Champions League quarter-finals.
The home team's chance came in the 10th minute when Kylian Mbappe was fouled by Cesar Tarrega in the Valencia penalty area and the referee awarded Real Madrid a penalty.
It's just a pity that Vinicius Junior couldn't beat goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili on the 11m mark.
Vinicius missed the penalty
Real Madrid immediately paid a heavy price for this wastefulness. In the 15th minute, from a corner kick by Andre Almeida, Mouctar Diakhaby jumped in and powerfully headed the ball into Real Madrid's net.
Mouctar Diakhaby (right) scored against both teams but only had one goal recognized.
Lacking talent and luck, Real Madrid could have equalized in the first half when Mouctar Diakhaby scored an own goal in the 21st minute.
However, the goal was not recognized for Real Madrid because before that, Kylian Mbappe had participated in the ball and was in an offside position.

After the break, Real Madrid's resilient spirit helped them equalize in the 50th minute. From Luka Modric's corner kick, Jude Bellingham jumped high to head the ball, sending it right into Vinicius Junior's position.
The Brazilian player did not miss the chance to make amends with a shot that hit the roof of the net, equalizing 1-1 for Real Madrid.
Vinicius scores 200th goal in La Liga
Boosted by the equalizer, Real Madrid continuously put pressure on Valencia, but Mbappe, Rodrygo and Valverde all missed scoring opportunities.
They will regret this because in the 90+5 minute, Rafa Mir had an accurate cross for Hugo Duro to head the ball into the home team's net, raising the score to 2-1 for Valencia. This was also the final score of the match.

Losing painfully at home, Real Madrid felt even more regretful because in the match that took place a few hours later, Barcelona could not beat Real Betis. The home field advantage helped the top team Barcelona take the lead in the 7th minute with the opening goal by Gavi.

Betis were not fazed by the early goal and in the 17th minute, the visitors scored an excellent goal to equalize the match. Natan jumped high to head the ball into the Barcelona net, after a corner kick from the right wing by Giovani Lo Celso.
Barcelona conceded a quick goal
The battle at Lluis Companys Stadium ended with a score of 1-1 because during the remaining time, Barcelona suffocated their opponents, creating many scoring opportunities but the "La Blaugrna" strikers all unfortunately missed them.
Goalkeeper Adrian, in an excellent match day, also repeatedly frustrated the home team's strikers.

The 1-1 score remained until the end of the match and Barcelona missed the chance to widen their lead at the top of the table over Real Madrid, although they still got 1 point and the gap between the two sides is now 4 points with eight rounds remaining.
Real Betis maintained their unbeaten record when facing the two "giants" Barca and Real Madrid in the second leg of La Liga (in the first leg, they lost 0-2 to Real Madrid and drew 2-2 with Barca), temporarily ranked 5th in La Liga, only 5 points behind the fourth-placed team Athletic Bilbao and played one more match, still having the right to dream of competing for a ticket to the Champions League.
