Celta Vigo pulled off a stunning 2-0 win over Real Madrid at the Bernabéu Stadium, with midfielder Williot Swedberg scoring the decisive goal in stoppage time. The victory marked a crushing defeat for Madrid, who were left reeling from five red cards in just 38 seconds.
The match began calmly enough, but it was Celta Vigo who struck first, as Swedberg's subtle flick on a cross gave them a 1-0 lead. Madrid struggled to respond, and by the time Álvaro Carreras was sent off for a gesture, they were already in disarray.
As the match entered added time, Madrid were left with nine men, but it was too little, too late. They launched a final, desperate attack, only for Thibaut Courtois to fumble the ball, allowing Celta Vigo's players to run into the space and score a second goal.
The winning goal was a masterclass of simplicity, as Swedberg collected a pass from Javi Rueda and slotted it past Bellingham. The Madrid players were left stunned, watching in slow motion as Swedberg walked past Courtois and scored.
Madrid's struggles have been well-documented this season, with the team languishing in eighth place in La Liga. Coach Xabi Alonso has faced criticism for his tactics and player selection, but it seems that he may need to rethink his approach if he is to get his side back on track.
For Celta Vigo, the victory marked a significant statement of intent. The team, led by Borja Iglesias, has been one of the most impressive sides in La Liga this season, with their high-pressing tactics and intelligent passing causing problems for even the toughest opponents.
The win over Madrid will give Celta Vigo a major boost, but it also highlights the gulf between them and their rivals. While they continue to impress on the pitch, others are struggling to keep up. The real question now is whether Celta Vigo can maintain this level of form, or if they will suffer the same fate as many other teams that have pushed themselves to the top before faltering.
The final scoreline may read 2-0 in favor of Celta Vigo, but it's clear that Madrid were outplayed from start to finish. For them, this was a stark reminder of their current struggles and the need for drastic change if they are to salvage what's left of their season.
As for Swedberg, he will be remembered as the hero of the night, his calm and collected performance inspiring his team to victory. It's been a long time since Madrid have felt so powerless, and this defeat may be the wake-up call that they need to get back on track.
In the end, it was a story of two teams, one with a sense of style and swagger, the other with grit and determination. Celta Vigo may not be the most glamorous team in La Liga, but their win over Madrid will go down as one of the greatest upsets in recent memory.

. I've never seen Real Madrid get dismantled like that before! Celta Vigo totally outplayed them, and Swedberg's goal was pure perfection 
. You can tell they were all over Madrid from the start, and their high-pressing tactics really paid off.
. And now they're down to ninth place in La Liga? Ouch. It looks like Coach Alonso needs to take a hard look at his team and figure out what's going on.
. Their win over Madrid was huge, and it shows that they're not just some fluke team - they're the real deal. And Swedberg is definitely a star player now 
. Can't wait to see how their season plays out...
Celta Vigo totally destroyed Real Madrid! Williot Swedberg is literally a hero now 
. I'm loving the fact that we're seeing a team like them dominate a big-name team like Madrid. It just goes to show that anyone can beat anyone if they put in the work 
.
they were so calm and collected out there despite being underdogs, it was like they had a plan B (and c) lol. Meanwhile Real Madrid just imploded after 38 seconds of red cards 
his goal was so sweet 
I just hope he gets the recognition he deserves now that his team has pulled off this epic win 
And let's be real, Real Madrid are a shadow of their former selves this season. They're struggling to keep up with everyone else and now they've got to deal with the shame of getting destroyed by Celta Vigo. 
It's gonna be interesting to see how they bounce back from this one, but I think it's safe to say that Celta Vigo are on a whole different level right now.
. But you gotta give credit to Williot Swedberg, he's some kind of genius on the field 
.
. And Borja Iglesias is doing some amazing stuff as their leader 
. Madrid's struggles this season are real, and it looks like they need a complete overhaul 
.
. And for Madrid, well... I think this might be their wake-up call 
. Time to shake things up and get back to winning ways 
!
️ And five red cards in 38 seconds? 
they're playing some amazing football right now and I'm loving every minute of it.
celta vigo definitely deserved that win, they've been on fire all season 
the only question is will they be able to keep this up?
. It's like they're just going through the motions most of the time.
! They've been playing some great football this season and their high-pressing game has been causing problems for everyone. They deserve to be up there with the top teams in La Liga 
.

. And Williot Swedberg is a total legend for scoring that winning goal in stoppage time
