Mbappé, Vinícius Shine in Real Madrid's 2-1 Win Over Celta Vigo

Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior were on target as Real Madrid secured a hard-fought 2-1 win against Celta Vigo in La Liga on Saturday. The victory keeps Madrid unbeaten through 10 rounds and level with Barcelona at the top of the table.

Mbappé opened the scoring in the 20th minute with a stunning long-range strike, giving Madrid an early advantage. However, Celta Vigo refused to back down, with Williot Swedberg equalizing in the 51st minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse.

Real Madrid regained control in the 66th minute when Luka Modric, who had just come off the bench, delivered a perfectly timed pass to Vinícius Júnior, who calmly slotted home the winner.

Despite the loss, Celta Vigo put up a strong fight, with Thibaut Courtois making crucial saves to deny Swedberg and Jonathan Bamba. Anastasios Douvikas nearly snatched a late equalizer for Celta in extra time, but his effort went inches wide.

Carlo Ancelotti's side now shifts focus to a busy week ahead, starting with a Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, followed by the highly anticipated El Clásico against Barcelona next weekend.
