In the standings, Real Madrid leads Barca by a full 15 points and continues to lead.
Just 3 minutes into the game, Celta took the lead in creating a threat, Aspars received a long pass in front of the field, burst into the box, facing the defender he swung away from a small angle to shoot, but was still blocked. Six minutes later, Benzema almost scored when his close-range fish jump header was slightly off the line-breaking net. In the 13th minute, Denis Suarez attempted a long-range shot at the top of the penalty area, which was powerful and well angled, but was still saved by Courtois. Two minutes later, Vinicius stepped forward and fired a near-range shot from the right side of the penalty area, where the goalkeeper saved the ball.
In the 18th minute, Real Madrid scored! Nolito sent a foul inside the penalty area, Benzema took the penalty, he tricked the goalkeeper into scoring the ball steadily, helping Real Madrid to take the lead. Five minutes later, Celta won a free-kick in front of the goal, Aspars took the penalty, the ball flew over the wall to the top left corner of the goal, the angle was extremely tricky, but Courtois pounced on the ball. Courtois's save was too wonderful, too extreme! In the 34th minute, Benzema inserted a push from behind the edge of the penalty area, and without kicking power, the goalkeeper easily held the ball. Five minutes later, Gallardo headed the ball in top of the goal, but the goal was invalidated because Aspars was offside. Real Madrid escaped. At the end of the half, Real Madrid led by one goal.
The second half was easy to fight again. In the 48th minute, Modric attempted a long-range shot from the periphery and the ball flew to the left of the goal, with the goalkeeper side-saving to defuse the situation. Three minutes later, Real Madrid conceded the ball! Javier Garland sent a cross from the left and was pushed by an empty Nolito from close range in the middle, and the ball was scored! Real Madrid's defense is seriously flawed this time. Both sides returned to the same running line. In the 63rd minute, Rodrigo burst into the box and was tripped and the referee awarded a penalty again. It was still Benzema who took the penalty, this time saved by the goalkeeper.
Six minutes later, Mendy also tripped in the penalty area and Real Madrid again won the penalty. What a god plot! Real Madrid won 3 penalties! It was still Ben who took the penalty, this time he tricked the goalkeeper and scored the ball. Real Madrid once again took the lead. In the 84th minute, Real Madrid had the opportunity to extend the score, but unfortunately Rodrigo's quasi-one-knife opportunity to burst into the box was destroyed by the opponent. In the end, Real Madrid narrowly won 2-1 against Celta. Real Madrid set a new record in team history, the longest unbeaten record away to Celta, 9 games!
