Kylian Mbappe networks twice as much as nervous hosts

Kylian Mbappe achieved double as Real Madrid kept Celta Vigo, despite the late return of visitors to the Santiago Bernabeu.

It looked like a routine afternoon for Carl Ancelotti, when Mbappe’s second game put them 3-0 three minutes in the second half.

But Celta, who also pushed Barcelona everything before lost 4-3 in her last game in her last guests, scored twice in the last quarter to secure some nervous moments for the local audience.

However, Madrid finally did the job and returned to four points of Barca at the top of the table.

Madrid slowly from blocks

Celta, which started in seventh place, started well and could take the lead in the fun first half after six minutes – Marcos Alonso flashed his head over the bar after running into the corner of Hugo Sotel.

Celta threatened again a minute later and only brilliantly saved from Thibault Courtois prevented Yel Lago to nod his flank in front.

Madrid finally woke up and after Vincius Jr shot over the bar, they took the lead through Arda Guller.

The Turkish international, recalled the initial XI this afternoon, played a quick angle to Lucas Vazquez and, after returning the ball, ran into the effort that removed Nick from the defender and flew past the goalkeeper of Celta Vicente Guita.

Courtois saved well from Borje Iglesias before Madrid hit again.

Mbappe occupies the central stage

Jude Bellingham released Mbappe on the left, and the captain of France cut himself before shooting next to Guiate and in the net.

Mbappe had his critics after the first season in Madrid, but he grabbed his 36th goal in all competitions to score 3-0 in the early stages of the second half.

Guler was an architect with sliding passes through the defense of Celta, and Mbappe made the rest with a clinical ending.

Madrid was furious, and Bellingham approached the fourth twice, while Guiaata also had to lower it to choke a low shot from an impressive guller.

Celta hits back

There seemed a little chance to return Celta, but that changed when Javi Rodriguez shot high in the net after Madrid failed to clean the corner.

Iago Aspas was introduced by Celta chief Cristian Giraldez, and the 37-year-old striker currently influenced with a wonderful way for a colleague to replace Williot Swedberg to shoot next to Courtois and make 3-2 with the remaining 14 minutes.

Aspas showed that he had not lost a single creative glow, and another passage three minutes later he chose Pablo Duran. Courtois partially saved his shot before the Belgian international man was able to turn and understand the ball before crossing the line.

Bernabeu believers were not impressed and Jeersi was raining from the stands while Madrid tried to see the game.

True, Celta rarely threatened to equalize because the minutes had passed, and Ancelotti men saw the game to just keep a challenge for the title.
