Celta football players created a real sensation at the Santiago Bernabeu tonight, beating the favored Real Madrid with a score of 2:0 in the 15th round of La Liga.
This is Celta’s first triumph at the Bernabeu after 19 years, and the celebration of the visitors from Vigo was well deserved. At times, Real seemed clueless in front of a strong Celta.
In the first part of the match, Real had several opportunities, especially through Arda Guler and Bellingham, who failed to checkmate the guests. Guler had another chance in the 38th minute, but it was not accurate.
The penalty came in the 54th minute when Swedberg executed the action masterfully and put Celta in the lead. Real made the situation even more difficult for themselves when Fran Garcia earned a second yellow card and dismissal in the 64th minute.
Although Real tried to equalize, the only serious attempt came through Mbappe in the 74th minute, but Celta’s net remained untouched.
The drama culminated in referee compensation. Real’s defender, Carreras, received a red card, and Celta scored the second goal in the 94th minute, again through Swedberg, who scored a hat-trick of assists – two goals – and secured a sensational victory.
With this defeat, Real remained four points behind Barcelona, while Celta is currently tenth in the table with 19 points.
