Valencia had grabbed a two-goal lead in the first half before Vinicius Junior pulled one back for Real Madrid. The Brazilian scored another in the 70^th minute, setting up a tense finale at the Mestalla.

Los Blancos carried good momentum heading into seven minutes of added time at the end of the second half. There were a few breaks in play and the game carried into the eighth added minute. Brahim Diaz delivered a cross into the box that was headed home by Jude Bellingham.

However, referee Jesus Gil Manzano had blown the whistle just before Diaz played his cross. This led to protests from all of Real Madrid’s players, led by Bellingham himself.
