Pepe and Isco completed a fine comeback from a 2-0 half-time deficit but Barcelona are now firm favourites for the title with two games to play
Real Madrid dropped two vital points in the title race as Valencia held them to a 2-2 draw on Saturday in a game which saw Cristiano Ronaldo miss a penalty.
News of an impending strike resulting in the postponement of league games after May 16 dominated much of the build-up and things were no smoother on the pitch for Madrid, who hit the woodwork three times and only secured a share of the spoils during the closing stages to leave Barca four points clear with two matches left.
Madrid controlled much of the first half and were denied by the crossbar twice early on through Gareth Bale and Ronaldo before an injury to Toni Kroos was quickly followed by Paco Alcacer's opener.
Javi Fuego doubled Valencia's lead shortly after and then goalkeeper Diego Alves equalled Andoni Zubizarreta's record of 16 penalty saves in La Liga, as he thwarted Ronaldo just before the interval.
The Real fightback began early in the second half as Pepe headed in from a corner and, as Alvaro Negredo saw two chances go begging, former Valencia youngster Isco was the next on the scoresheet, sealing a draw in spectacular fashion late on. A draw, however, leaves their title bid in tatters.
