Sporting target sets up goal as Celta de Vigo stun Real Madrid 2-0 | OneFootball

Real Madrid did not have a happy night and was defeated at home by Celta de Vigo (2-0) this Sunday, December 7, in a match for the 15th round of the Spanish league. Bryan Zaragoza, a player who was linked with Sporting during the summer transfer window, provided the assist for the first goal for the Galicians.

Williot Swedberg came on at halftime and managed to become the standout player of the match. After a first half that saw the Galicians suffer somewhat, the Swede put the visitors ahead with a classy finish inside the Merengues’ box in the 53rd minute.

To make things more difficult for Xabi Alonso’s team, Fran Garcia received two yellow cards in quick succession, leaving Real Madrid down to ten men. Despite this setback, the home team pressed in search of points but was not effective in front of goal. In stoppage time, Álvaro Carreras was sent off for dissent and Celta de Vigo, playing against nine men, scored again through Swedberg (90+3’), making it 2-0.

As a result, Barcelona ends the round with a four-point lead at the top of La Liga, since Real Madrid has managed to win only two of their last seven matches played. Meanwhile, Celta de Vigo sits in 10th place in the league table.

In the 2025/26 sports season, wearing the Celta de Vigo shirt on loan from Bayern Munich, Bryan Zaragoza – valued at 12 million euros – has played 19 matches so far. In the total of 976 minutes he has played, the Spanish international has provided four assists.
