TPO - Football review Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo, La Liga - team information, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. Real Madrid must win against Celta Vigo if they do not want to raise the white flag in the La Liga championship race.

Real Madrid cannot afford to stumble against Celta Vigo.

Pre-match review Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo

Real Madrid are still trying to catch up with arch-rivals Barcelona in the La Liga title race. Coach Ancelotti's team is 4 points behind their opponents, while the tournament has only 5 rounds left. Real Madrid will face Barcelona next weekend in a match that could decide the championship. However, Los Blancos will have to deal with Celta Vigo before thinking about dealing with the Catalan team.

Barcelona only have to face the bottom team and already relegated Real Valladolid. Therefore, Barcelona is almost certain to get 3 points. That will put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid. If Real Madrid cannot beat Celta Vigo, the chance to turn the situation around will almost end. Los Blancos' morale is not good at the moment after painful defeats to Arsenal and Barcelona in the past few weeks.

Real Madrid need to quickly return to winning ways starting with their clash with Celta Vigo. Coach Claudio Giraldez's team played well in 2025 and are competing for a ticket to the European Cup. However, they are still not a worthy opponent for the reigning La Liga champions. Real Madrid have faced Celta Vigo twice this season in La Liga and Copa Del Rey. The victory in both matches belonged to Coach Ancelotti's team.
