In a stunning comeback, Real Madrid clawed their way back from a 2-0 deficit to secure a thrilling 3-2 victory against UD Almería in La Liga. The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu witnessed an early shock as Sergio Arribas capitalized on Nacho Fernández's errant pass, setting up Largie Ramazani for a goal within the first 40 seconds.
Despite Almería's position at the bottom of the league, they displayed confidence and organization, with captain Lucas Robertone embodying their spirited play. Edgar González further stunned the home crowd with a sensational strike just before halftime, compounding Real Madrid's frustrations.
Carlo Ancelotti's halftime triple substitution injected new life into Los Blancos. The momentum shifted as Jude Bellingham converted a penalty, and VAR decisions continued to stir controversy. Arribas had a goal disallowed, while Vinícius Júnior's goal withstood handball appeals.
As tempers flared and Almería's coach, Gaizka Garitano, was sent to the stands, Bellingham remained a key figure. Despite a disallowed goal, he played a crucial role in the 99th-minute winner. Dani Carvajal capitalized on Bellingham's header, securing three points for the 35-time LaLiga champions.
The victory propelled Real Madrid ahead of surprise title contenders Girona in the league standings. Meanwhile, Almería, still seeking their first league win of the season, faced another heartbreaking defeat.
