Udaipur, April 5, 2025: Vinicius Junior played his 200th La Liga match in a Real Madrid jersey. Even though he scored a goal, he will not want to remember this milestone match. Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Valencia after conceding a goal in added time. The biggest blame for the loss falls on Vinicius. He missed a penalty in the 13th minute, wasting a chance to give his team the lead.

Valencia Take the Lead After Early Miss by Vinicius

Just two minutes after Vinicius missed a chance, Valencia scored. His weak shot was saved by goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. From the resulting attack, Muktar Diakhaby scored with a header from Diego Lopez's corner.

Real Madrid Equalise Early in the Second Half

Real Madrid, who were trailing 1-0 at halftime, found the equaliser in the 50th minute. Jude Bellingham headed Luka Modric’s corner to Vinicius, who made no mistake and scored the goal.

Last-Minute Blow for Real Madrid

Despite getting chances to take the lead, Real wasted several opportunities. In the 5th minute of added time, substitute Hugo Duro scored the winning goal for Valencia. He headed in a perfect cross from Rafa Mir.

Real Madrid Slip Behind Barcelona

With this defeat, Real Madrid have given their rivals Barcelona a chance to catch up. Real have now lost 5 of their 30 La Liga matches and have 63 points. Barcelona have played one game less. If they win against Real Betis tonight, they can cut the gap to just six points.
