Real Madrid Takes Three Points at Celta Vigo, But It Wasn't Easy
Real Madrid escaped Balaídos with a 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo, but it wasn't the stroll in the park many expected. The game was a real nail-biter, with both sides battling hard for every inch of the pitch.
It was a scrappy affair, with neither team really able to take control of the game. Celta Vigo, known for their attacking flair, were a bit flat, but they did create some dangerous chances. Real Madrid, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm. They looked a bit tired after their Champions League clash with Liverpool, and they lacked their usual sharpness in front of goal.
The only goal of the game came in the 60th minute when Vinicius Junior, who else? put in a beautiful cross for Karim Benzema to tap in. This was the Frenchman's 17th goal of the season, solidifying his place as the La Liga top scorer.
A Victory For Real Madrid, But Questions Remain
The victory is a big win for Real Madrid, keeping them in the title race. But the performance was not convincing. They need to find their mojo again quickly if they want to keep pace with Barcelona.
The next few weeks will be crucial for Real Madrid. They face some tough opponents, and they need to improve their form if they want to stay in contention. It's gonna be a bumpy ride!
