LaLiga: 2 Real Madrid players sent off in Celta Vigo defeat

Real Madrid suffered a damaging 2-0 home defeat by Celta Vigo in LaLiga on Sunday, finishing the game with nine men after red cards for Fran Garcia and Alvaro Carreras.

Williot Swedberg struck twice in the second half for Celta Vigo, with Madrid’s second league defeat of the season leaving rivals Barcelona four points clear at the top of LaLiga.

Xabi Alonso’s side also lost defender Eder Militao to injury on a difficult night in the Spanish capital, before they host Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Madrid were playing their first match at home following six on the road across all competitions after hosting an NFL match at the Bernabeu, coinciding with a poor run of form, having now won just one of their last five league games.

Alonso said: “We have to turn the page as soon as possible. It’s only three points.

“We have the Champions League game against City to react in, and get this bad taste out of our mouths.”
