This Sunday afternoon, Real Madrid received Celta Vigo to Bernabéu as part of the 34th day of Liga. Even deprived of several of its executives, the Madrid team was particularly enterprising from the start of the match.
In the 33rd minute, Arda Güler opened the score with a rolled strike from the left foot from the right of the surface (1-0). Five minutes later, Kylian Mbappé was breaking. Well served by Jude Bellingham, the French striker spun on the right side and won his duel against Vicente Guaita with a dosed shot that finished in the small opposite net (2-0, 39th).
Celta Vigo reduces the gap and puts doubt
After the break, Carlo Ancelotti's men seemed to be determined to continue on the same dynamic. This was translated into a double of Mbappé. Launched in depth by Arda Güler, the captain of the Blues concluded from a cross shot of the left foot (3-0, 48th).
But the locals were scary at the end of the meeting. Javier Rodriguez took advantage of a ball badly relaunched by Vázquez on a deviated corner to reduce the scoring (3-1, 68th). In the 76th minute, it was Williot Swedberg's turn to take up a pass from Iago Aspas as a first intention to deceive Thibaut Courtois (3-2).
If the whites have managed to win, they are still four points behind FC Barcelona, leader, before the Clasico next Sunday. The Galicians, they remain in 7th place, eight lengths from Betis Seville (6th), and only two points from Rayo Vallecano (8th).
