Federico Valverde scored a sensational stop-time winner when Real Madrid won a crucial 1-0 victory against Athletic Bilbao to keep their Laarga title hopes alive.
Valverde's breathtaking half-volley deep in the stopping time of the interruption jerked in the upper corner and led to wild parties around the Bernabeu.
Madrid saw the victory move four points behind Barcelona with six more games to go.
The League leaders had produced their own last-gasp heroism against Celta Vigo on Saturday after they fought back from 3-1 to score a winner of the 98th minute.
It has been a roller coaster week for Madrid and the atmosphere on Sunday was cruel, the humiliation of the Club Champions League still fresh in the heads of some.
After a 3-0 thrashing against Arsenal in their quarter-final first stage, Madrid's dreams about another sensational Remontada turned out to be a damp Squib when she lost the reverse draw in Spain with 2-1 and stacked the pressure on Carlo Ancelotti.
Madrid was without Kylian Mbappe against Bilbao with the striker who served his ban on one match after he was sent in the 1-0 win in Alaves last weekend.
The superstar received an icy reception after parts of the crowd fleured and booed when he appeared on the big screen in the Bernabeu.
Mbappe sat upright in the stands to watch the game and briefly came in shot.
At an uncomfortable moment, the 26-year-old, with a brown jacket and dark cap, looked at the screen and apparently realized that the jersers were directed to him.
He scored 22 league goals this season, but the angry is probably connected to the frustration about the embarrassing European elimination of Madrid.
Mbappe was unable to have a meaningful impact on both legs and is often heavily criticized because he does not return to help his teammates.
Madrid is undefeated this season in Laliga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey when Mbappe did not play – with three victories and two draws.
Ancelotti praised the exhibition from his side against Bilbao: 'The truth is that we had more control in the first half, we did not have the pressure of Athletic.
'We have not made any opportunities. The game was good, we did not admit any goal, we were aggressive, united. There is good news, so let's see if we keep improving. '
Despite the anger for Mbappe, Ancelotti also praised the crowd and added: 'I did not hesitate that they would support us. They have been great as always.
“They believe, just like us, that we can achieve something this season.”
