After a 22-match unbeaten streak, Real Madrid finally saw that come to an end in their first La Liga game of this year against Valencia.
Although, as per usual, Cristiano Ronaldo got himself on the score-sheet to put his team ahead, Los Che staged a brilliant comeback with goals from Barragan and Otamendi to set up an exciting second half of this season as the title race heats up.
And not surprisingly, social media reacted to the loss. Check out how fans and the media responded to Valencia 2-1 Real Madrid.
