The game remained tight and tense until the 92nd minute when Lucas Vazquez, the agile right-back, found himself unmarked during a corner and headed the ball into the net.

Despite the setback, Real Madrid demonstrated resilience and determination to claim the victory.
Real Madrid displayed a strong response to the challenge posed by Deportivo Alaves, who failed to test the visitors’ makeshift defense, which included Aurelien Tchouameni in an unfamiliar center-back position.

With this hard-fought 1-0 victory, Real Madrid reached a total of 45 points, putting them on level terms with Girona. However, Real Madrid holds the advantage in both goal difference and head-to-head record, allowing them to secure the top spot in La Liga as they head into the winter break.

Real Madrid concluded the year on a high note, solidifying their position at the top of La Liga with a remarkable victory. This win extended their unbeaten streak to an impressive 17 games across all competitions. With this result, Real Madrid has emerged as the clear favorites to clinch the league title, despite the impressive performances of Girona throughout the season. The year 2023 has been a memorable one for Real Madrid, as they secured victories in the Club World Cup and the Copa del Rey, and welcomed the talented Jude Bellingham to their squad, who has shown great potential as a future star for the club. However, finishing the year at the top of La Liga holds a special significance for them, and their ability to snatch victory in the dying moments of the game exemplifies the classic resilience and determination associated with Real Madrid.
