2025-26 Spanish La Liga
Matchday 15
Real Madrid v Celta Vigo
Estadio Santiago Bernabeu
Madrid, Spain
Sunday, 7 December 2025
Kick-off is at 22h00
Real Madrid will be aiming to keep their impressive record against Celta Vigo intact when they come face-to-face at the Bernabeu on Sunday, December 7 in the late kick-off.
Los Blancos have won their last 10
La Liga encounters against Celta and their unbeaten run stretches back 22 games since losing to the Sky Blues (2-0) on 11 May 2014.
Xabi Alonso's side have opened the door for Barcelona, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid in the title race after dropping points in each of their last three league outings.
Draws against Rayo Vallecano (0-0) and Elche (2-2) allowed Barca to close right up on them and another stalemate with Girona (1-1) on November 30 saw their arch-rivals leapfrog Real into top spot.
The record 36-time Spanish champions have a chance to snap that winless streak when they visit Athletic Bilbao on December 3, while the Blaugrana are also in action against Atletico Madrid 24 hours earlier.

Celta got off to a poor start after failing to win their opening nine matches, of which seven ended in draws, with their first victory coming against Osasuna (3-2) on October 26.
However, Claudio Giraldez's side have only strung together back-to-back wins once and a 1-0 reverse to Espanyol on November 30 was their second defeat in three games.
The Galacian club are in a five-way tie with Real Sociedad (9th), Elche (10th), Rayo Vallecano (11th) and Sevilla (12th) in 13th place and find themselves just four points clear of the relegation zone.
Alonso saw enough of a reaction from his players at Montilivi to suggest they can turn things around, but insists their lack of cutting edge in the final third needs to improve.
"I think there was an improvement, especially in the second half. We pushed harder and created more chances," the Spaniard said.
"We lacked a bit of accuracy with the chances we had to take all three points. But we're still in it, it's all very close. It's a long season and we have to keep going.
"No complaints [about a third consecutive draw] because I liked the reaction. It wasn't enough to turn it around, but we were close. We have to continue with the unity we have, with the necessary self-criticism and with the desire to win away from home."
