    Real Madrid Stays In Title Race As Deflected Goal Gives Late Win In Vigo

    But Federico Valverde: Real Madrid stayed in the La Liga title race on Friday night thanks to a stroke of luck that earned a 2-1 win away to Celta Vigo.

    The game looked to be heading for a 1-1 draw, a result that would have given FC Barcelona the chance to move six points clear at the top of La Liga. But Federico Valverde's 94th-minute shot from outside the Celta penalty area took a huge deflection off Marcos Alonso, leaving home goalkeeper Ionut Radu helpless, reported Xinhua.

    Real Madrid, missing Kylian Mbappe, Eder Militao, Jude Bellingham and David Alaba, took the lead in the 11th minute with an excellent goal from Aurelien Tchouameni, who curled a spectacular shot in from distance.
