Real Madrid: Times They Could Reduce Points on the Way to the Top of the BBVA League
Real Madrid has not been successful. The latest case is yesterday's draw against Valencia 2-2. The team led by Rafael Benitez could not maintain the lead, despite being ahead on the scoreboard on two occasions.
When Gareth Bale scored Real Madrid's second goal with a great header, the players approached the bench and hugged. Rafael Benitez was close to the action, but did not participate in it. In response, the former Napoli coach called Toni Kroos to give him instructions.

Lucas Vazquez, who had come in the second half, followed him at Real Madrid. Rafael Benitez's words to his players had no effect as one minute after the Welshman's goal, the final parity for the Mestalla team arrived.
On the other hand, Real Madrid will have the mission of returning to victory on January 9th when they play at home against Deportivo La Coruna for the local championship. The Merengues are in third position with 37 points, four behind the leader Atletico Madrid.
