00:00Just quickly on Valencia, they've changed their full-backs, both the full-backs, so in comes Joao Concelo and also Jose Gaya, in place of Martín Montoya and Guillermo Siqueira.
00:10What do they bring? What are the positives and negatives in doing those changes, Gaiske?
00:13Valencia can stop Real Madrid. The thing with Real Madrid is they don't have to play particularly well to win games.
00:21It can be seen that they are not in the game and action and the score, so you have to be 100% focused during the whole game.
00:28So here are the two sitting midfielders, Enzo Pérez, Dani Pallejo, and important, his relationship with number 15 here, on loan from Saltavigo, Fabian Orellana,
00:38who was rather persona non grata there under Eduardo Borizzo, but has found a new lease of life at the Estadio Mestalla.
00:44And Simone Zaza, who got off the mark as far as Valencia.
00:47Garay and Mandala, they're actually coming players from the front and the pace. I think it's clear as well, not leaving much space behind the back four,
00:55as Benzema, James or Ronaldo can always find those spaces like they did against Espanyol.
01:03Seven changes from that win on Saturday at the Estadio Bernabeu, with Danny Carvajal, Rafael Varane, Tony Cruz and Cristiano Ronaldo,
01:11the players who keep their places. And in particular, for number seven, it's his 700th game in club football.
01:19We'll see what part he has to play. First off, they're about to get underway with Terry Gibson and Rob Palmer.
01:23Well, this is such an important catch of game for Cancella.
01:28Looking for Munea, the youngster on loan from Barcelona. Plays it inside to Zaza!
01:34What a goal from Zaza!
01:38It is the same...
01:39...in the box, he had a lot of work to do, just to hold it up, just to get hold of the ball.
01:44He's under pressure from Varane. He's not looking just to turn and light it back off to a player that's supported him.
01:50No, he spins, he turns, and lashes in here.
01:55There you go, Zaza, the local hero, he had support as well. Good early ball.
02:00Asking a little bit of Nani. Now he's got 2-2-8-4. Could this be a second? Yes, he can! Sensational stop!
02:09It's the other win to Sarding, Orellana!
02:12Pressure on the ball. Zaza who gets the ball to Nani.
02:15And they do really well, and Orellana in particular just continues his run, gets himself into an attacking position.
02:22Makes himself an option for Nani.
02:24And there was so much space.
02:27And Orellana...
02:28...doesn't place too much emphasis on being aqua.
02:32Toni Kroos...
02:33...rides the challenges.
02:36Feeds Cristiano Ronaldo.
02:41...occasions this season, but they haven't lost a game.
02:44And they've conceded first.
02:45This guy puts in the cross.
02:47Gounir...
02:48...another escape from Real Madrid.
02:51Kroos...
02:52Amir...
02:54...bends him...
02:55...ahhh!
02:56Tremendous save from Diego Alves.
02:59Woodson suggests...
03:00...might be a cross into the box.
03:02It's Pavé Ho. He's going for glory!
03:04Well, that was such an important...
03:07...there again.
03:08Orellana.
03:12Marcelo.
03:13Ronaldo!
03:14Oh!
03:18Platinum goal from Cristiano Ronaldo.
03:20...getting himself in positions...
03:23...where he can score a goal.
03:25It's the technical ability...
03:26...whether it's on the floor...
03:27...or whether it's in the air.
03:29Gets across Mangala.
03:31Now he'll be happy to get to...
03:32...half-time a goal up.
03:33It's changed the course of things.
03:35Ronaldo's on the rampage.
03:36Ronaldo again!
03:38He's in that kind of mood.
03:39He took a reflection as well.
03:41There's...
03:42...Jamez.
03:43Brilliant ball.
03:44Cristiano Ronaldo.
03:47There's a little neck from Mangala.
03:49...the referee keeps his whistle down by his side.
03:54I'm hoping for a little bit more contact than there actually.
03:57It was from Mangala in the end because you can see the...
03:59...Parejo.
04:03Sees off Kroos.
04:05Enters the danger area through one and...
04:07...and it needed Navax to fly at that.
04:11Cancelo leaves the charge.
04:12All for that.
04:13Gets himself in the tackle.
04:15Zazar's onto it quickly.
04:16Zazar withstands the challenges.
04:18Two of them.
04:20Referee's having none of it.
04:22Carver Howell's going to ignore him.
04:23Just see him as an obstacle.
04:24Throws it in.
04:26Arvis throws a...
04:27...punch at the ball.
04:28Marcelo.
04:30Lots of movement in the penalty area.
04:32Benzema can't get there.
04:34Backflip from Ramos.
04:35Gareth Bale.
04:36Anywhere will do.
04:37It's like Sunday League football.
04:39Flips under the bar.
04:40And the referee spots some...
04:42Luxury.
04:43Close.
04:44With a corner.
04:45Oh, and enough defenders.
04:47That is Bale.
04:48He threw himself...
04:49Tonight, he's been a giant.
04:53Marcelo's cross.
04:54Ronaldo!
04:55That was it.
04:56That was it.
04:58Ronaldo.
04:58The only cool head is that of the referee.
05:01One final roll of the dice.
05:03Can they hit the jackpot in Real Madrid?
05:05Bale is there.
05:05Brilliant goalkeeping.
05:07And Valencia have done it.
05:09What a dramatic game of football.
05:11Not just on the night,
05:12but this is going to have a major impact on the season.
05:17Celebrated in the Macea Stadium by the home supporters.
