Real Madrid vs. Celta Vigo: Player Ratings from 2-2 draw

Real Madrid fought back from a 1-0 deficit to take the lead for the second straight week in La Liga, but a brilliant late goal from Denis Suarez and Santi Mina spoiled Eden Hazard’s return from injury. Here are the full player ratings for Los Blancos.

These are the games where titles are won and lost, so while Real Madrid remain in first place over arch rivals FC Barcelona in La Liga, they may rue dropping points to Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Coming into Matchday 24, Celta were in the relegation battle. They got off to an early 1-0 lead before Toni Kroos and a Sergio Ramos penalty brought the game back in Real Madrid’s favor. It looked like Los Blancos would secure another impressive comeback victory, but their offside trap faltered when Santi Mina beat Dani Carvajal in the penalty box, slotting home after Denis Suarez brilliantly split open the defense.

Here are the full player ratings for Real after the disappointing 2-2 draw at the White House. It’s on to Levante now before the club faces Manchester City in the first round of the Champions League knockout stages.

GK Thibaut Courtois

Thibaut Courtois was faultless for both Celta Viga goals, but Real Madrid can thank their star goalkeeper for keeping them in the game. Without him, they would have lost, as he made one jaw-dropping save. As usual, Courtois looked confident on the ball, and it seems like he’s good for one wild save per game.
