Real Madrid Triumphs 3-2 Over Celta Vigo in Thrilling LaLiga Clash

In a nail-biting encounter at Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday night, Real Madrid edged past Celta Vigo with a 3-2 victory to keep their LaLiga title hopes alive.

The match kicked off with early aerial threats, as Marcos Alonso nearly broke the deadlock with a powerful header from a corner. Quickly responding, Real Madrid’s Aurelien Tchouameni challenged with a header of his own, narrowly missing the target.

Possession was heavily in Madrid’s favor between the 10th and 20th minutes, though clear goal attempts were scarce during this period.

Breaking the stalemate in the 33rd minute, Arda Guler unleashed a clinical strike from the edge of the box, curling the ball into the far post to put Los Blancos ahead 1-0.

Six minutes before halftime, Kylian Mbappe doubled the lead in dramatic fashion. Despite slipping during his shot inside the box, he still managed to guide the ball home.

Mbappe sealed his brace early in the second half with a clever finish from a tight angle, extending Madrid’s advantage to 3-0.

Celta Vigo fought back fiercely, with Javi Rodriguez pulling one back in the 69th minute, followed by Williot Swedberg’s precise finish after a sublime assist from Iago Aspas at the 76th minute. The visitors narrowed the gap to 3-2 but couldn’t find an equalizer.

Madrid's victory keeps them firmly in the title race, sitting second with 75 points — just four behind leaders Barcelona. The LaLiga showdown between these two giants looms on the next weekend, promising an electrifying battle for supremacy.
