Santiago Bernabeu is now panic room! Heroic Celta shock mighty Madrid in their own house!

Something is rotten at Santiago Bernabeu!

Perhaps it is up to the boss, Xabi Alonso, perhaps it is his relationship with one of the team's two leading stars, Vinicius Jr, perhaps it is up to Florentino Perez and the management... Who knows? Still, the fans will want some answers, especially after last night's slap in the face.

Last night, Celta conquered Santiago Bernabeu and shocked Los Blancos, beating them 2-0, thanks to the brace-scorer Williot Swedberg.

He broke the deadlock in the third minute, before sealing his brace in the 53rd minute.

Trent to miss 11 games due to injury

Madrid controlled the game, Madrid wasted chances, Madrid were nervous, and finished the match with nine men on the pitch, as Fran Garcia and Alvaro Carreras were sent off in the 64th minute and added time.

And the visitors from Vigo just waited for their chance and seized it.

Either way, the crisis is immense, as Barcelona now have a four-point advantage at the top of the La Liga table, while Alonso's team won only one out of their last five league games.

That is something to think about...

The impression was that Los Blancos threw the first half out the window. They had control and as many as 11 shots, but Celta held out and salvaged a goalless draw at the break, which was the bottom line.

Chances for Madrid were coming one after another.

Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Kylian Mbappe... But the ball simply did not want to get into the net, and Celta's keeper Ionut Radu had a lot to do with it.

To make matters worse, Eder Militao picked up an injury and was forced to leave the pitch, as Antonio Rudiger replaced him.

Still, there was no panic among the home team's ranks, as they definitely thought a goal would come sooner or later. And it did, but in their net!

Out of nowhere, Celta organized a hasty counter. The Bayern Munich loanee at Celta, Bryan Zaragoza, crossed the ball into the area, and the man who came off the bench during the break, Williot Swedberg, scored one of the most beautiful goals Santiago Bernabeu has seen this year, finding the bottom-left corner with a marvellous heel touch.

If there was no panic at the break, Madrid's stadium definitely became a genuine zone of anxiety ten minutes after Celta's opener, when Fran Garcia received two yellow cards in the span of two minutes, and was sent off, leaving his teammates to chase a comeback with ten men on the pitch!

Luckily for Xabi Alonso's men, the visitors were solely focused on defending the advantage, so they still had possession of the ball for the majority of the time.

The problem was that they had no idea how to find the net. Mbappe had two decent attempts in the 74th and 77th minutes, but it wasn't enough to trick Radu.

Ten minutes later, Aurelien Tchouameni and Gonzalo Garcia threatened, but without concrete result once again. The clock was ticking, and Los Blancos' hope was fading.

In the added time, the tension culminated. Alvaro Carreras was sent off, and Swedberg completed a brace, for a total shock of everyone at Bernabeu. Barcelona's edge in La Liga is now four points, and Madrid needs a lifejacket as soon as possible.

Is Alonso capable of finding his footing, or are his days in the Spanish capital numbered?
