Real Madrid rose to the top of La Liga overnight

Real Madrid rose to the top of La Liga overnight. As Zinedine Zidane’s side started 2021 with a 2-0 home triumph over Celta Vigo.

Los Blancos will culminate the first weekend of the New Year as leaders. It is possible only if Atletico Madrid fail to win at Alaves tomorrow. And, this race is one of the tightest title races for years. Zidane’s side will face more difficult tests in the weeks ahead. It is because of a goal on either half from Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez. They managed to attain a straightforward three points at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano.

Vazquez inclined home Asensio’s deep cross. It was after just five minutes that it set Real Madrid on course to triumph. But Zidane’s hosts had faced difficulties to create more chances before the break.

Finally, with 9 shots, 2 shots on target, 469 passes with 87% pass accuracy, Real Madrid moved to the top of the La Liga table overnight
