Kylian Mbappe scored twice when Real Madrid has assured that they will not lose the title of Laliga in the Clasico of next week, but their 3-2 victory over Celta Vigo on Sunday will not have done much to help their trust.
A non -victory would have meant the victory for Barcelona when they meet in Catalonia on Sunday would have been actually sufficient to take the crown of their rivals with three remaining games as they have a difference in far superior goals.
But by reducing the four -point gap, Carlo Ancelotti’s team heads east in seven days knowing that they still have the opportunity to increase the pressure on leaders.
However, having skirted a 3-0 more with 21 minutes from the end, they allowed twice to put Bernabeu at the limit, doing nothing for the criticisms that were addressed to Ancelotti.
Conducting through the 33rd minute of Arda Guler, the direction of the game oscillated in the space of 30 seconds late in the first half.
Borja Iglesias’ shot raised himself from Aurelien Tchouameni and gave Thibaut Courtois to air brilliantly the ball away from falling under the crossbar.
In an instant, Real launched a quick counterattack with Vinicius Junior who runs a ride inside Jude Bellingham, who released the ball in Mbappe in the internal channel on the right.
The International France moved him to the right foot and took a shot early, giving Yoel Lago to recover any possibility of blocking, and passed beyond Vicente Guaita for his 23rd goal of the season.
Mbappe did not have to wait for the 24th for a long time as three minutes after the interval Guler made a transition between the two defenders of Celta and the French, this time from the left, produced a goal on the left through the goalkeeper.
The ease of victory was in contrast with the early stages such as Real, which has appointed only six outfield players on the bench with Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy and David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, they had a fear.
Visiting defender Marcos Alonso has threatened the corners twice. In the fifth minute he nodded with force and two minutes after his head he was tilted around the pole by Courtois.
Tchouameni was supposed to give the hosts when he headed by six IARDE, but Guler did not make mistakes with an angled shot after exchanging a short corner with Lucas Vazquez and cutting his left foot.
Mbappe then took the central phase with goals on both sides of the interval and the hosts seemed comfortable.
But from a 69th minute corner incorrectly, Pablo Duran’s colors, has just been prevented from insinuating himself to posting Vazquez, who was able to stop Javi Rodríguez who passed the bounce up close.
Seven minutes after the veteran Iago Aspas chose WillioT Swedberg, whose race had not been monitored, and felt coldly Courtois one against one.
Aspas’ vision then saw him playing Duran, whose shot insinuated under Courtois and only the backspin on the ball as he captured the goalkeeper’s body prevented it from rolling through the line.
