It’s safe to say that Luis Garcia is not a happy man.

As noted by Eurosport, Alaves were on course to grab a share of the spoils when Lucas Vasquez scored a stoppage-time winner to give Carlo Ancelotti’s side the win.

With his team conceding a goal in the game's dying minutes, Garcia couldn’t hold back his emotions. The Spanish manager was seen venting on the touchline, kicking over a bucket with water bottles, and grabbing one of his staff members.

Thanks to the late goal, Madrid climbed to the top of the La Liga standings and will end 2023 on top of the table.

They are level on points with Girona but claim top spot thanks to their superior goal difference. Girona had a chance to head into the new year as table toppers but were held to a draw by Real Betis.
