Real Madrid’s La Liga title hopes took a hit as they drew 3-3 with Rayo Vallecano in a thrilling match at the Estadio de Vallecas. The Spanish giants missed the chance to move top of the table after Carlo Ancelotti’s men were denied by Isi Palazon’s heroics.
The home side took an early lead through Unai Lopez, but Real Madrid responded with two goals of their own from Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham before halftime. The visitors then regained the lead thanks to a stunning strike from Rodrygo, only for Rayo Vallecano to equalize once again.
In the end, both teams were left with just one point, as Real Madrid moved to 37 points after 17 matches, one behind La Liga leaders Barcelona. The draw means Los Blancos have left the door open for Atletico Madrid, who are also in action tomorrow.
Jude Bellingham was on the scoresheet, adding to his tally and helping Real Madrid get back into the game. However, the Brazilian’s teammate Rodrygo was also instrumental in the match, scoring two goals including a stunning solo effort that sealed the visitors’ first goal of the match.
