On January 21st, Real Madrid staged a dramatic comeback, securing a 3-2 victory against Almeria in LaLiga
Dani Carvajal's late stoppage-time goal propelled Real Madrid to the top of the league standings with 51 points.
Almeria's two-goal lead, marked by strikes from Ramazani and Gonzalez, exposed a lackluster first half for Madrid without a single shot on target.
Vinicius Jr and Bellingham pressured, Real reduced the gap in the 56th with a VAR-awarded penalty for a debated handball.
Maeso initially disallowed Real Madrid's equalizer for a Vinicius Jr handball but later awarded the goal, ruling it as off the shoulder after a VAR review, causing frustration for Almeria.
In the ninth added minute, Bellingham's skillful cross found Carvajal, who tapped in the winner as Real Madrid secured a dramatic victory.
