Mbappé and Vini Jr score, and Real Madrid beat Celta Vigo
On the eve of the derby against Barça, Real beat Celta de Vigo and momentarily equalize at the top of La Liga
It’s going to catch fire!
Bring on the “El Clásico”! Real Madrid beat Celta de Vigo 2-1 this Saturday at the Balaídos Stadium in the 10th round of La Liga 2024/25 . With that, they reached the same 24 points as leaders Barcelona, who face Sevilla this Sunday. Mbappé opened the scoring in the 20th minute of the first half, Swedberg tied the match early in the second half, and Vinicius Junior secured Real’s victory in the 20th minute of the second half. And there was also a record-breaking goal by Luka Modric.
Harmonious duo
Vinicius Junior now has five goals and five assists in 13 games for Real Madrid this season. He has been directly involved in at least one goal in each of his last six La Liga games – his best run in the competition’s history. Mbappe, who has been in the spotlight this week over his trip to Sweden , has eight goals in 12 games for Real in 2024/25.
Club legend!
By taking to the field this Saturday at 39 years and 40 days of age, Modric became the oldest player to play an official game for Real Madrid in the entire history of the Spanish club. He beat the record of 39 years and 36 days, which belonged to another legend, the Hungarian Puskás.
Upcoming games
Real Madrid’s next La Liga fixture is none other than El Clásico against Barcelona on Saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu. Celta will face Leganés the following day at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
