Real Madrid face Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabéu this Sunday evening as Los Blancos aim to keep pace in the title race.
Xabi Slonso’ side seek to stretch their unbeaten streak against Celta Vigo, having triumphed in the last 11 encounters across all competitions.
Real endured a tough spell before the Athletic Club win, with draws against Rayo Vallecano, Elche, and Girona costing them six points. That run has allowed Barcelona to claim the top spot in LaLiga.
The 3-0 away triumph over Athletic Club on was exactly what they needed. Notably, Real Madrid remain undefeated in all eight home games this season – six in LaLiga and two in the Champions League.
