Real Madrid returned to wasting points again, and failed to regain the top spot in the Spanish Football League table, which Girona had topped. Real Madrid tied 0-0 with its guest, Rayo Vallecano, in the 12th stage of La Liga.
Real Madrid’s stars were unable to translate the opportunities they had throughout the two halves of the match into goals, after they competed in wasting them throughout the 90 minutes, thus failing to achieve victory for the second time during their last three meetings in the tournament.
This draw spoils Real Madrid’s celebrations of the valuable victory achieved by the team over its host and traditional rival Barcelona, with two goals to one, in the last stage of the competition, and thus the royal team moves away from its Catalan counterpart, who is in third place in the table, by only two points.
