Mbappe's Brace Guides Real Madrid to 3-2 Victory Over Celta Vigo

Posted : 04 May 2025

Kylian Mbappe scored twice to help Real Madrid hold off a determined Celta Vigo comeback, securing a 3-2 win that moved them to within four points of La Liga leaders Barcelona ahead of their El Clasico showdown next weekend. Madrid took the lead in the 33rd minute with a well-worked short corner that found Arda Guler, whose curling shot deflected into the top corner of the net. Six minutes later, Mbappe doubled Madrid's advantage with a powerful finish past Celta goalkeeper Vicente Guaita following a fast break.

 

The French striker continued his dominance early in the second half, scoring his second goal in the 48th minute after a perfect through ball from Guler, finishing low into the bottom corner. However, Celta Vigo remained resilient and pulled one back in the 68th minute when Javi Rodriguez capitalized on a loose ball following a corner that Madrid failed to clear. The match grew tense when Celta’s Iago Aspas delivered a brilliant assist to set up Williot Swedberg, who reduced the deficit to 3-2 in the 76th minute.

 

Celta nearly equalized two minutes later after Aspas’ superb pass sent Pablo Duran through on goal, but Thibaut Courtois recovered well to block Duran’s shot after it slipped under his body. As Celta continued to press for an equalizer, the match became increasingly frantic with chances at both ends, but Madrid held firm to secure the vital three points. This win keeps Madrid's title hopes alive as they head into the crucial El Clasico next weekend.

 

The victory means Madrid will travel to Barcelona next Sunday knowing that a fifth consecutive league win would reduce the gap to just one point with only three games remaining. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo remains in seventh place, continuing their push for a European qualification spot.
