Real Madrid suffered their second defeat of the league season on Saturday after Los Blancos lost 2-1 at Villarreal.

Real Madrid, the second defeat in La Liga – Barcelona can break away from the opponent

The team coached by Carlo Ancelotti used an unprecedented starting eleven.

According to MARCA, this is the first match in history when Real Madrid does not have at least one Spanish player in the starting XI.

It did not bode well for the reigning champions, who lost at the Estadio de la Ceramica to Villarreal.

If in the first half, great opportunities were wasted on both sides without scoring goals, in the second half the home team took the lead two minutes after the restart (47th minute) thanks to Jeremiah Pino.

The best player of the “Golden Ball-2022” and “Real” Karim Benzema restored the draw (min. 60) from 11 meters.

In just 3 minutes (min. 63), the home team took the lead again thanks to Gerard Moreno, who flawlessly converted from the penalty spot.

With this victory, the Yellow Submarine climbs to 5th place and level with Atletico Madrid, the team that occupies the last place in the Champions League.
