Real Madrid has to beat Celta to keep pace with Barcelona after their victory on Saturday, and so far they are on track to do this after they made 3-0 in their La Liga collision in the Santiago Bernabeu.
It was a frustrating opening of half an hour for Real Madrid, because they failed to register a single shot on goal. But that was corrected at 33 minutes when Arda Guler shot the opening goal after collecting a pass from Lucas Vazquez.
Kylian Mbappe doubled the advantage of the hosts shortly thereafter and he scored his second and Real Madrid's third of the afternoon.
