Neither Mbappé, nor Vinicius, nor Bellingham, nor anyone dressed in white was able to score a goal against Celta. Instead, Williot, who had come on in the second half to replace the injured Durán, left the Santiago Bernabéu speechless with a brace. Real Madrid are shipwrecked again in the League and concede the first defeat (0-2) at home in the tortuous era of Xabi Alonso, who is increasingly being questioned. Who was supposed to be the savior of the white team after replacing Carlo Ancelotti now sees the Blaugrana escape by four points at the top of the table.
It was an ominous night, for the whites, who only knew how to collar a brave and proud Celtic a little when they found themselves behind on the scoreboard. Nothing worked for a Madrid team without any kind of direction. The match already started badly for Xabi Alonso’s men, who lost Militao to an injury that looks bad in the first half and were left with one man less, due to the expulsion for double yellow, of Fran García shortly after the match hour. Then, they were already behind on the scoreboard, because Williot had converted an assist from Bryan Zaragoza in the heart of the area into a goal.
Only besieged by the emergency, Madrid intimidated a Celta who not only knew how to hold the score, but sentenced with a new goal from Williot at the end. While Álvaro Carreras, desperate like his whole team, had also just been sent off. Florentino Pérez laments, Barça smiles. Fire at Real Madrid.
