Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo Player Ratings: Mbappé and Vinicius Shine

Real Madrid Continues Winning Streak Against Celta Vigo

In yet another showcase of resilience and attacking prowess, Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid secured a hard-fought victory at Balaídos against Celta Vigo this Saturday night. Despite putting up a less-than-convincing performance, the team managed to find a way to win, largely thanks to the creativity and goal-scoring abilities of stars Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr.

Mbappe's Early Breakthrough

It took just 20 minutes for Madrid to strike first when Kylian Mbappe unleashed a powerful shot into the top corner, leaving Celta's goalkeeper no chance. This early goal set the tone for what many expected would be a runaway victory for the visitors.

Celta's Response

However, the lead was short-lived. Celta Vigo responded with determination and managed to convert one of their numerous chances through young star Williot Swedberg. His equalizer revitalized Celta's hopes and put pressure back on Real Madrid.

Ancelotti's Tactical Adjustments

In response to the equalizer, Ancelotti wasted no time in making tactical adjustments. The introduction of veteran midfielder Luka Modric made a significant difference. At 39 years old, Modric continues to defy age with his vision and passing ability.

Vinicius Jr. Seals the Victory

Modric's impact was immediate. He delivered a beautifully weighted ball that found Vinicius Jr., who coolly converted to restore Madrid's lead and secure all three points for Los Blancos. This goal was not just crucial for the match but served as a momentum boost as the team prepares for next weekend's highly anticipated Clasico.
