Real Madrid celebrated a hard-fought 2:1 win at Celta Vigo in the tenth round of La Liga on Saturday and drew level on points with Barcelona (one game less) in the table.

Superstar Mbappe gave Real the lead out of nothing in the 20th minute, after which the Madrilenians acted very confidently and controlled the game.

However, the blow came shortly after the restart when Swedberg netted (51'). Celta Vigo then narrowly missed taking the lead, but Vinicius Junior did better at the other end after Modric's pass (66'). As the hosts then missed a number of top chances, it was ultimately a somewhat fortunate away win for Real.
