Real Madrid maintained its seven-point lead with a 4-0 win over Celta Vigo. Carlo Ancelotti brought fresh air into his starting eleven against a Celta in need.
Rüdiger caused the first, scored by Vinicius after Guaita saved the German's header. The third, from Carlos Domínguez on his own, and the fourth, from the young Güler, sentenced a Celt with many problems. The Galicians landed at the Bernabéu with the encouragement of Cádiz and the relegation places.
