Celta Vigo Vs Real Madrid
During the first half, Real Madrid was surpassed by a Celta team that pressed offensively, overwhelming Real’s soft pressing attempts. Once again, Ancelotti’s men failed to press coherently, allowing Celta’s wide forwards to easily get the ball behind Real’s midfield. Courtois again made great saves to prevent Celta capitalizing on their dominance. Despite these problems, Real Madrid first won from a penalty on Militao, which Benzema put in the back of the net. Celta came close to scoring late in the first half, but their goal was disallowed after video review showed Aspas in an offside position.

Celta had more possession during the second half and Real fell further behind. That didn’t necessarily help the home side, who now had to attack in tighter areas than in the first half. Their persistence paid off when Nolito scored in the 52nd minute after another failed attempt by Real Madrid. The substitution of Asensio for Rodrigo helped give Real’s attack some boost, and shortly after coming on, the Brazilian forward scored a penalty. Dituro saved Benzema’s penalty, but five minutes later Mendy drew another penalty, and Karim would not miss this time.
Towards the end of the game, Celta tried to take the initiative, but Real’s defense broke up their attacks before they even reached the box, without the need for many emergency interventions from Milito and Alaba. All in all, Real had another win in which they weren’t necessarily the dominant side, but they were effective.
While this lackluster performance could be enough to win the league, it’s hard not to wonder if Real can really overtake Chelsea playing like this.
