Real Madrid suffered another defeat after 40 matches unbeaten run

Celta Vigo defeated Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabéu 2:1 in the Copa Del Rey quarter final first leg to hand the men in white a second defeat in a row after 40 matches unbeaten run.

As the first half ended 0:0, the visitors went ahead in the 64 minutes when Iago Aspas left footed shot from the centre of the box found the high centre of the goal following Marcelo weak clearance in the box.

With Real Madrid forwards unable to make real impact in front of goal, it means Marcelo has to make amend of his mistake as the Brazilian left footed shot from the centre of the box found the back of the net at the bottom left corner in the 69 minutes.

Celta Vigo made it 2:1 in the 70 minutes when Jonny right footed shot from outside the box to the centre of the goal left the goalkeeper helpless following a quick break assisted by Iago Aspas with a through ball.

Real Madrid second half substitute Benzema had a glorious chance to draw the game level before the final whistle but his right footed effort in the center of the box went over the bar.

The visitors celebrated their shocking 2:1 win in the Bernabéu while the Los Blancos went home to figure out what has changed.
