WATCH THE CLIP

<p>The Brazilian's miss from the penalty spot proved costly for Los Blancos as, just a couple of minutes later, they conceded the opening goal. Valencia won a corner and Diego Lopez curled in an inch-perfect cross inside the Madrid box. Mouctar Diakhaby rose above Antonio Rudiger and converted a perfect header to send his team in front.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Carlo Ancelotti's side, who trail league leaders Barcelona by three points, will aim to turn things around in the second half to grab all three points from the clash. They next face Arsenal on April 8 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final fixture. </p>
