In an entertaining and thrilling night where Madrid failed to take advantage of their opportunity of topping League champions Barcelona, it certainly would give Raphael Benitez some heat in the suit and cause to worry about, as the game ended 2-2, with Madrid finishing with ten Men.
Valencia have gone 21 league home games without a loss, their best undefeated run at home since October 1990 (22), this should at least give Raphael a moment of relief as they ended the game with ten Men.
Goals from Karim Benzema, 16 mins, and Gareth Bale, 82 mins, wasn't enough to secure a much needed victory for Madrid, as they were heartbroken by a late goal, 83 mins, from Paco Alcacer.
Prior to this eventful game which saw Madrid Man Mateo Kovacic sent off for a bad tackle on Joao Cancelo seconds after Cristiano Ronaldo had a penalty appeal turned down, some Real Madrid directors have called on Rafa Benitez to go on a diet in order not to face taunts from opposition as he did while in England at Anfield. This result obviously may set a consideration in his heart just to do so, or the pressure he faces at Madrid may help him automatically do so with ease.
