La Liga 2016-17: Real Madrid 2-1 Celta Vigo - 5 Talking Points

#3 Madrid defense in sixes and sevens

All’s well that ends well, Real Madrid would certainly not care about their performance after nervously claiming all 3 points, but certain issues have cropped up at the back and it almost cost them dear in the game.

The hosts time and again left acres of space at the back for the visitors to run in and create trouble, and it was one such moment which Orellana made the most of and put Los Blancos into a tizzy. The Chilean was given all the area to collect the ball and jog a few steps before triggering a sublime swing into the net for the equaliser.

Although Kroos bailed Real out later, such mistakes can come back to bite them in big games against big teams.
