Real Madrid disaster

In the early morning of December 8, Real Madrid lost 0-2 to Celta Vigo at home in round 15 of La Liga.

For the first time in 8 years, Real lost to Celta Vigo right at the Bernabeu. Xabi Alonso's team had a deadlocked performance, even ending the match with 9 men.

Williot Swedberg's double helped the visitors leave with all three points, leaving Real four points behind Barca in the title race.

Real had a disastrous match day.

In the first half, Real lacked attacking ideas, even continuously making mistakes in defense. Only luck helped the home team avoid conceding a goal, after mistakes from Raul Asencio and Thibaut Courtois.

Celta defended solidly and only needed a moment of carelessness from the home team to score the decisive goal. In the 53rd minute, Swedberg received a cross from his teammate from the left wing, before finishing gracefully, defeating Courtois.

In a difficult match, Real also made things difficult for themselves with two consecutive yellow cards in one minute for Fran Garcia. The efforts in the last 20 minutes could not help the home team to even equalize.

Tensions were raised in the extra time when referee Quintero showed two yellow cards to send off Alvaro Carreras. Immediately after this moment, Celta Vigo attacked and scored an emotional 2-0 victory. Swedberg comfortably dribbled past the goalkeeper and slowly dribbled the ball into the empty net in the 90+3 minute.
