Williot Sudeberg scored both goals for Celta Vigo. Madrid’s center-back Eder Militao was forced off due to injury in the first half, while Fran Garcia and Alvaro Carreras were sent off, leaving Madrid four points behind league leaders Barcelona.

Alonso emphasized the importance of moving on quickly:

Referee Controversy and Team Responsibility

The Real Madrid coach was visibly unhappy with the officiating. Garcia received two yellow cards within two minutes, and Carreras was shown a red card at the end after disputing a decision.
