Federico Valverde’s stoppage-time winner four minutes into added time rescued Real Madrid‘s faltering 2025-26 La Liga title challenge with a barely-believable 1-2 victory at Estadio Abanca Balaidos against Celta Vigo on 6 March 2026 — a result that prevented Madrid from suffering another damaging title race setback following consecutive home defeats to Osasuna and Getafe. Aurelien Tchouameni gave Madrid the lead with his first league goal since April 2024 in the 11th minute before Williot Swedberg set up Borja Iglesias to equalise in the 25th minute, and Celta looked set for a point before Valverde’s deflected stoppage-time effort sealed an important three points. Madrid, still without the injured Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, reduced the gap on leaders Barcelona to three points with the dramatic late win at Balaidos.
