Real Madrid Stumbles at Home, Falling to Celta Vigo Amidst Injury and Red Card Woes
Madrid, Spain – Real Madrid suffered a frustrating 0-1 defeat against Celta de Vigo at the Santiago Bernabéu in a LaLiga match marred by injury and a costly sending off. The match, part of the 2025/26 season’s 15th round, saw the home side unable to find the net and struggling to maintain composure.
The first half ended scoreless, but not without incident as defender Eder Militao was forced to leave the field due to injury. The second half began disastrously for Real Madrid as Williot Swedberg scored a clever backheel goal for Celta de Vigo in the 53rd minute, leaving goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois helpless.
The turning point came shortly after, when Fran García received a yellow card in the 63rd minute for a foul on Swedberg. Just a minute later, García committed another foul on the same player, earning a second yellow card and an ejection, reducing Real Madrid to 10 men.
García will now miss Real Madrid’s next match against Deportivo Alavés on Sunday, December 14th, in Vitoria.
The red card ended Real Madrid’s impressive 57-game streak without a player being sent off at home. According to stats provided by Alexis Martín-Tamayo (‘Mister Chip’), this was Real Madrid’s first home sending-off in La Liga since Toni Kroos was ejected against Girona three years ago.
