"Williot Swedberg's second-half brace was enough for Celta to secure a first win over Real in La Liga since May 2014, with the hosts ending the match with nine men after Fran Garcia and Alvaro Carreras were sent off, with unused substitute Endrick also shown a red card."
""We are all angry, evidently this was not the game we wanted, it was not the result we wanted," Alonso said, as per the BBC. "We have to try and turn the page as quickly as possible. It's only three points. We have the Champions League game against City to react in, and get this bad taste out of our mouths.""
"Next up for Real is a Champions League clash at home to Manchester City, with Alonso knowing that he needs a reaction from his squad if they are to stop this blip from becoming a prolonged slide."
Real Madrid lost 2-0 at home to Celta Vigo, with Williot Swedberg scoring a second-half brace to secure Celta's first La Liga win over Real since May 2014. Real finished the match with nine men after Fran Garcia and Alvaro Carreras were sent off, and unused substitute Endrick was also shown a red card. The defeat left Real four points behind Barcelona and continued a worrying run of form with just one win in five league fixtures and two wins in seven matches. Club president Florentino Perez summoned Xabi Alonso for talks, and a Champions League tie against Manchester City is the immediate pressure point for a reaction.
