A massive La Liga clash on Wednesday when Real Madrid took on Valencia at Mestalla. Real Madrid's trouble campaign continued as they fell to a ninth defeat in La Liga and their first since coach Zinedine Zidane returned as they were beaten 2-1 away by Valencia.
Goncalo Guedes fired Valencia into the lead in the 35th minute with a thumping shot from inside the area which was too powerful for Madrid goalkeeper. Madrid had played well, but lost momentum after the first goal and Valencia continued to threaten into the second half, finally doubling their lead with a header by Ezequiel Garay from a corner in the 83rd minute. Karim Benzema headed in a consolation goal for Madrid in stoppage time of 90+3 minutes.
Madrid are stuck in third on 57 points, 13 points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona and five points behind city rivals Atletico Madrid. Whereas Valencia stays at the fifth with 46 points.
