Real Madrid lost 2-0 at home to Celta Vigo in La Liga on December 7, 2025, with manager Xabi Alonso blaming the referee’s poor decisions for impacting the game.
Celta Vigo won through two goals from Williot Swedberg a 53rd-minute heel flick and a stoppage-time finish while Real Madrid finished with nine players after red cards to Fran García (64th minute, two yellows) and Álvaro Carreras (second yellow), plus Endrick’s dismissal as an unused sub.
The defeat snapped Madrid’s flawless home league run and put them four points behind leaders Barcelona.
Alonso criticized the referee for being too lenient on Celta’s time-wasting and a controversial Carreras red, saying it “drove us crazy” and ruined the match flow.
He labeled the officiating “permissive” but praised his team’s fight and urged focus on the upcoming Manchester City Champions League tie.
