Before this match, Real Madrid were in very bad form when they only won 1 of their last 4 matches in La Liga. They even only ended their streak of draws with a win against Athletic Bilbao in round 15.
Personnel difficulties forced coach Xabi Alonso to make a strange decision in defense, when he pulled fullback Carreras into the center-back position, while pushing Asencio out to play on the right wing.
On the attack line, Real Madrid still possesses the strongest firepower with Mbappe and Vinicius as the striker pair.
The first 20 minutes of the match were full of excitement as both teams played an attacking game. Despite playing away from home, Celta Vigo were still confident in pushing up their formation against a Real Madrid side that was fumbling defensively.

In the 21st minute, center-back Militao suffered a relapse of his injury and was replaced by Rudiger, whose physical condition was not much better.
After a series of exciting attacks, Celta Vigo suddenly took the lead in the 53rd minute, with a beautiful goal by Swedberg.
From the left wing, Zaragoza sent a low cross to his teammate. Swedberg, unmarked, suddenly unleashed a powerful, dangerous backheel kick that sent the ball into the far corner of the goal, leaving goalkeeper Courtois unable to block it despite diving as far as he could.
Just 10 minutes later, Swedberg brought the advantage back to Celta Vigo. From a pass-and-go situation in the middle of the field, Fran Garcia rushed in and fouled this player.

This seemed to be a foul play in retaliation because just 1 minute before, Fran Garcia had received a yellow card. The referee therefore immediately showed the Real Madrid defender a second yellow card.
After losing a man, Real Madrid woke up and tried to regain control of the game. From the 70th to the 90th minute, Celta Vigo goalkeeper Radu had to continuously show his talent in saving the goal.

The more impatient Real Madrid became, the more mistakes they made. In the 90+1 minute, Carreras received his first yellow card for a foul, then a second yellow card for protesting to the referee. Real Madrid were down to 9 men after he was sent off.
And just two minutes later, Swedberg finished Real Madrid off with a goal that sealed the 2-0 win and capped off his perfect performance.
