Despite Vinicius Junior's red card, Real Madrid won 2-1 against Valencia on Friday because to two late goals from Jude Bellingham, who also set up the other. After a night when it looked like everything would go against Carlo Ancelotti's team, Madrid returned to the top of La Liga.

Hugo Duro's goal put them down after 27 minutes, and they had a great opportunity to tie the score early in the second half when Kylian Mbappe was fouled and Bellingham's shoddy penalty rattled against the post. Eleven minutes from time, Vinicius was sent off for hitting Valencia goalie Stole Dimitrievski. However, Luka Modric, who was come in after that incident, quickly equalised after Bellingham made a nice pass. Bellingham still had time to race through and coolly finish in the fifth minute of stoppage time, giving Madrid a two-point lead over rivals Atletico Madrid, who still have a game left.
