Shock Defeat at the Bernabéu: Celta Vigo Stuns Real Madrid 0-2
In a major upset on matchday 15 of the La Liga 2025/2026 season, Real Madrid fell to a stunning 0-2 defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu against Celta Vigo.
The result is a significant blow to the Los Blancos' title aspirations, as they aimed to close the gap on league leaders Barcelona. For Celta Vigo, the victory marks a superb continuation of their strong away form and propels them into the top half of the table
Match Highlights
The hero of the day for Celta Vigo was Swedish midfielder Williot Swedberg, who netted a decisive brace, with both goals coming in the second half.
54' Goal - Williot Swedberg (Celta Vigo): Swedberg opened the scoring in the 54th minute, putting the visitors ahead.
90'+3' Goal - Williot Swedberg (Celta Vigo): As Real Madrid pushed desperately for an equalizer, Swedberg capitalized on a late counter-attack after the sending off of Álvaro Carreras, finishing clinically to seal the 0-2 win in stoppage time.
Real Madrid struggled to break down a resolute Celta defense, despite star forwards like Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior featuring in the lineup. The match saw its share of drama, including a late red card for Madrid's defender Álvaro Carreras.
Title Race Implications
The loss means Real Madrid missed the opportunity to reduce the deficit with Barcelona to just one point. The pressure on coach Xabi Alonso, which had momentarily eased after a recent 3-0 win against Athletic Club, will now intensify as the team's inconsistent form resurfaces.
Celta Vigo's outstanding performance, particularly Swedberg's heroics, hands them a crucial three points and validates their reputation as a difficult team to beat on the road this season.
