Gerard Moreno’s penalty earned Villarreal victory over Real Madrid while Juventus edged out Udinese on an emotional night
There was no let-up from Villarreal after the break and the pressure told in the 47th minute when Moreno played in Pino, whose shot beat Courtois through sheer power. Real Madrid rallied and a Juan Foyth handball, awarded by the VAR, allowed Karim Benzema to level from the penalty spot on the hour mark.
Villarreal should have added a third in stoppage time as they broke away from a corner with Courtois upfield, but Arnaut Danjuma sent his shot wide of an empty net. Real Madrid have now won two of their last five league games but stay in second, level on 38 points with Barcelona who visit fourth-placed Atlético on Sunday.
Ancelotti instead placed the blame for the defeat squarely on his players’ performance. “We couldn’t play at their level. We were bad, especially in defence. We tried to create but we were too open in midfield. We should have done more.
