Valencia wanted to react, and improved in the second half but without being able to get into the game with a goal. Thibaut Courtois prevented it in the occasion of greatest danger for Maxi Gómez.
The bad news for Zinedine Zidane has been the relapse of his side after his return to the courts. The French coach had recovered Carvajal and Lucas, but his loss joins those of Sergio Ramos, Hazard, Marcelo, Odriozola, Militao, Rodrygo and Valverde.
In this way, the French coach will have to find a way to align the defense in the next league game, next Saturday against Valladolid.
