Real Madrid Faces Celta Vigo Amid Injury Crisis in La Liga Clash

Real Madrid faces Celta Vigo in a critical La Liga match, needing a win to keep their title hopes alive as they trail Barcelona by four points with five games remaining. After a recent Copa del Rey final defeat to Barcelona, the pressure is high for Los Blancos to avoid a trophyless season, especially with El Clasico looming. Manager Carlo Ancelotti must contend with a depleted defense due to multiple injuries and suspensions, forcing players to fill unfamiliar roles. Despite their defensive crisis, Real Madrid remains focused on the present and determined to fight for the league until the last game, according to Ancelotti. Celta Vigo, fresh from a victory over Villarreal, are also motivated as they chase European qualification and are not intimidated by top teams. The match is seen as a must-win for Madrid, both to maintain pressure on Barcelona and to sustain momentum ahead of their decisive upcoming fixtures.
