A distraught Real Madrid suffers a crushing defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu

Neither Mbappé, nor Vinicius, nor Bellingham, nor anyone else in white could find the net against Celta Vigo. In contrast, Williot, who came on at halftime to replace the injured Durán, silenced the Santiago Bernabéu with a brace. Real Madrid's La Liga campaign continues to flounder, suffering their first home defeat (0-2) of Xabi Alonso's tumultuous tenure, which is facing increasing scrutiny. The man who was supposed to be the savior of the Whites after replacing Carlo Ancelotti now sees Barcelona extend their lead at the top of the table to four points.

It was a disastrous night for Real Madrid, who only managed to put a little pressure on a brave and proud Celta Vigo side when they found themselves trailing. Nothing went right for a Madrid team that seemed completely directionless. The match started badly for Xabi Alonso's men, who lost Militao to a serious injury in the first half and were reduced to ten men when Fran García was sent off for a second yellow card shortly after the hour mark. By then, they were already behind, as Williot had converted a Bryan Zaragoza assist into a stunning goal in the heart of the penalty area. Driven by desperation, Real Madrid only managed to intimidate a Celta side that not only held onto the lead but sealed the victory with another Williot goal in the dying minutes. Meanwhile, Álvaro Carreras, as desperate as his entire team, had also just been sent off. Florentino Pérez is fuming, while Barcelona is smiling. A firestorm is brewing at Real Madrid.
