Mbappé's Jaw-Dropping La Liga Masterclass & Atalanta's Ruthless Serie A Rampage – You WON’T Believe What Happened!
Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: Mbappé’s Magic Keeps Title Hopes Alive
Kylian Mbappé stole the show in a nail-biting Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo clash, scoring twice to secure a 3-2 victory for Real Madrid CF on Sunday. The La Liga champions battled hard to keep pace with league leaders Barcelona, staying just four points behind as they head into next weekend’s blockbuster El Clasico. With this win, Real Madrid solidified their La Liga stats and kept their title dreams burning bright in the Liga.
The game started with Real Madrid dominating at the Santiago Bernabéu. Young star Arda Guler opened the scoring after a slick one-two with Lucas Vázquez, firing a pinpoint left-footed shot from a tight angle. Six minutes later, Mbappé doubled the lead, racing onto a perfectly lobbed pass from Jude Bellingham and smashing a right-footed rocket from outside the box. Early in the second half, Guler turned provider, setting up Mbappé for his second goal—a clinical finish into the bottom-right corner, marking his 24th La Liga goal this season.
Despite the 3-0 lead, Celta Vigo fought back late, making it a tense finish. “We controlled the first half, but Celta are a tough side. They pushed us to the limit,” said Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde. The victory keeps Real Madrid standings strong with four matches left in La.Liga, while Celta Vigo remain mid-table after their third loss in four games.
Istanbul Derby: Solskjær Outshines Mourinho
In Turkey’s Super Lig, Ole Gunnar Solskjær got the better of José Mourinho as Besiktas edged Fenerbahce 1-0 in a heated Istanbul derby. Gedson Fernandes, despite missing a penalty earlier, redeemed himself with a decisive goal just before halftime. The result dented Fenerbahce’s title hopes and gave Solskjær, the former Manchester United boss, bragging rights over his old rival in this Liga showdown.
Atalanta’s Serie A Masterclass Seals Monza’s Fate
Over in Italy, Atalanta delivered a 4-0 thrashing to Monza, securing third place in Serie A and confirming Monza’s relegation. The match, overshadowed by the tragic loss of a 26-year-old Atalanta fan in clashes with Inter supporters, saw Atalanta’s stars shine. Charles De Ketelaere kicked things off with two quick goals—first weaving through defenders for a tidy finish, then capitalizing on a Monza mistake. Ademola Lookman added a third after the break, and Marco Brescianini sealed the rout late on.
Monza’s slim hopes were dashed when Atalanta’s goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi made a stunning save to deny Omari Forson. With just 15 points, Monza’s Serie A journey ends, while Atalanta’s 68 points keep them in pole position for a Champions League spot.
