Real Madrid must defeat Celta in order to keep pace with Barcelona after their win on Saturday, and so far, they are on course to do so after making it 3-0 in their La Liga clash at the Santiago Bernabeu.
It was a frustrating opening half hour for Real Madrid, as they failed to register a single shot on target. But that was corrected on 33 minutes as Arda Guler fired home the opening goal after collecting a pass from Lucas Vazquez.
Kylian Mbappe doubled the hosts’ advantage soon after, and he has scored his second and Real Madrid’s third of the afternoon.
