Embarrassing stat sums up Real Madrid’s shock defeat to Valencia | OneFootball

A head-turning statistic has perfectly summed up the woes of Real Madrid, on Saturday evening.

This of course comes fresh off an outing to forget for Carlo Ancelott’s side.

Real marked their return to action a short time ago, welcoming relegation-battling Valencia to Spain’s capital for a La Liga clash.

Los Blancos headed into the matchup aware that a victory was an absolute must, amid ongoing efforts to keep pace with Barcelona atop the table.

When all was said and done, however, the capital giants came up short in alarming fashion.

Owing to a last-gasp Hugo Duro header, it was Valencia who emerged on the right side of a 2-1 result at the Santiago Bernabéu.

This marks the first occasion on which Los Che have gotten the better of Real Madrid away from home since all the way back in 2008.

Even more disheartening from a Blancos perspective, meanwhile, is the fact that tonight’s came as Valencia’s first La Liga victory on the road all season.
