this an underlooked Pod mostly because it didn't have an immediate consequences as the victorious Yusuf had to return to africa due to the death of his heir also it was in most senses a pyrrhic victory due to the high casualties the berbers suffered how ever the defeat did stop the chirstians and also Yusuf return some years later pushing the Christians out and winning against them in 1090s.
how ever what if the opposite had happened had alfonso won , say Yusuf dies or is captured do you think nothing changes in the long run and the almoravids return or does the death of yusuf and his heir ( or capture) and them loosing some emirs there as well would create a succession crisis.
