• Los Blancos were held to a goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday
• Real Madrid dropped to second on the La Liga table with 29 points

Real Madrid’s bid to reclaim the La Liga title from Barcelona this season suffered a setback after the Spanish giants were held to a goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, November 5.

Jude Bellingham was unable to come up with the goals for Los Blancos this time around as they fired blanks against a resilient Rayo, a result that dampens Real Madrid’s league chances.

According to Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that he was disappointed with the result as he insisted they deserved to win due to how dominant his team played.

"We're disappointed with the result, not with the game. You win games you don't deserve to win, and sometimes you don't win games you do deserve to win. This was a game we deserved to win. We've had other games that we didn't deserve to win."
