James Rodriguez came to the rescue of Real Madrid just before the half-time as his deflected effort was enough to give Los Blancos a lead. Celta Vigo fought well in the second half to handle the pressure created by the attack of Real Madrid but Chicharito came alive again in the 69th minute to secure a victory for the visitors.
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with the victory and vowed to fight with FC Barcelona until the very end.
“We’ll try to be in the fight for the league until the last game, that’s the goal,a said Carlo Ancelotti.
“We played a very good game because winning here means we played well. Celta played at a high standard. We are satisfied and happy and the team is still alive. We have a good attitude and we have shown that on the field.a
Carlo Ancelotti also praised the game of Chicharito in his post match interview.
“Chicharito is enjoying his moment. When he is in this form, he is non-negotiable – just like Cristiano, Benzema, James, [Gareth] Bale, Ramos, Isco, [Raphael] Varane, Pepe…The rest of players have worked very well and it is true that we have suffered, but they were very effective.”
