Bernabéu Broken: Valencia Stun Real Madrid with First Win Since 2008

Valencia pulled off stunning 2 - 1 victory over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday, in La Liga's Matchday 30 ending 17 year winless run at the iconic stadium.

Goals from Mouctar Diakhaby 15' and Hugo Duro 90+5' secured the shock win for Valencia while Vinícius Júnior netted the lone goal for Real Madrid in the 50 minute.

Historic Win for Valencia

This marks Valencia's first league win at the Bernabéu since 2008, snapping 17 year drought in the Spanish capital. The result sees Real Madrid remain 2nd on the table with 63 point, trailing leaders Barcelona by 3 points. Barcelona are set to play Real Betis later today with chance to extend the gap.

Rare Home Loss for Real Madrid

According to stats from Opta, Real Madrid hadn't lost home match in La Liga with this number of shots 21 since Jan 2019, when they suffered defeat to Real Sociedad despite taking 28 shots.

Despite dominating possession and chances, Real Madrid struggled to break down resolute Valencia defense. Diakhaby's opener and Duro’s last gasp goal sealed a memorable night for the visitors.
