Madrid, Barcelona Win Ahead of Decisive Clasico

Real Madrid kept their La Liga title hopes alive with a 3-2 win over Celta Vigo, highlighted by Arda Guler's opening goal in the 33rd minute and two goals from Kylian Mbappé, bringing his season tally to 24. Madrid led 3-0 early in the second half, but Celta Vigo responded with goals from Javi Rodriguez and Williot Swedberg, leading to a nervy finish and several crucial saves by Thibaut Courtois. Barcelona maintained their four-point lead at the top of La Liga after narrowly defeating Valladolid a day earlier. With four matches remaining, including a decisive El Clasico next weekend, the title race remains intense. Real Madrid overcame defensive injuries and a late Celta surge, drawing jeers from the Bernabeu crowd but securing their fourth straight league win. Key performances from Guler and Mbappé were instrumental in Madrid's victory.
