7 December 2025 – Real Madrid continue their pursuit of LaLiga leaders Barcelona by welcoming Celta Vigo to the Santiago Bernabéu, in a fixture of major importance for both sides.
Los Blancos, currently chasing the gap at the top, know that every point matters as the season continues. Victory on home soil would move them to within one point of the league leaders, strengthening their position in the title race.
For Celta Vigo, the trip to Madrid presents both an opportunity and a daunting challenge. The Galician side has had a mixed start to the campaign and sits 13th in the table with 16 points from 14 matches. Though inconsistent, they remain capable of surprising teams, especially away from home, where they have lost only one of the last seven games. Celta will arrive in the capital looking to extend its impressive run of results on the road this season.
However, history and form strongly favour Real Madrid.
Los Blancos have been dominant at the Bernabéu in recent years, winning each of their last five home matches in La Liga. That consistency has played a key role in keeping their title ambitions alive. Moreover, Real Madrid’s record against Celta Vigo in Madrid is equally impressive—they have won each of their last five home meetings. Every statistic points towards Xabi Alonso’s men holding an advantage heading into the clash.
Madrid’s squad depth and attacking prowess continue to make them one of the most feared sides in Europe.
