Real Madrid defeated Celta Vigo 4-0, with Vinicius Jr scoring a goal, helping Carlo Ancelotti’s team extend their lead in La Liga to seven points.

Antonio Rudiger, the centre-back for Real Madrid and Germany, had a reason to celebrate during the LaLiga EA Sports match against Celta Vigo at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on March 10, 2024. Rudiger scored his side’s first goal, contributing to Real Madrid’s relentless march towards their 36th La Liga title. The victory over Celta Vigo resulted in a resounding 4-0 win, leaving Real Madrid seven points clear at the top of the table.

Although the performance was not vintage Real, Carlo Ancelotti’s team was rarely threatened throughout the match. For a significant portion of the game, the teams were only separated by Vinicius Junior’s close-range strike in the 21st minute.

However, in the 78th minute, Rudiger made his mark by redirecting a Luka Modric corner onto the bar. The ball then ricocheted off Vincente Guaita and found its way into the net, extending Real Madrid’s lead.

Despite Guaita’s commendable performance, he missed Vinicius’ cross in the 88th minute, resulting in an unfortunate own goal by Carlos Dominguez. The crowd’s most joyous moment came with almost the last touch of the game when young Turkish substitute Arda Guler scored his first goal for the club.

As for Celta Vigo, they find themselves in a precarious position, just one place and two points clear of the relegation zone. This predicament follows third-bottom Cadiz’s shocking victory over Atletico Madrid during the weekend. Celta Vigo will need to regroup and find their form to avoid the threat of relegation.
