Xabi Alonso Comments on Real Madrid's Unexpected Defeat

Real Madrid suffered an unexpected 2-0 home defeat against Celta Vigo in the 16th round of La Liga. For the visitors, Williot Swedberg scored a brace, finding the back of the net in the 54th and 93rd minutes.

On Real Madrid's side, Fran García was sent off in the 64th minute, followed by Álvaro Carreras receiving a red card in the 92nd minute, leaving Real Madrid to conclude the match with just nine players. After the game, Xabi Alonso shared his thoughts, stating: "We are deeply frustrated by the result, as a completely different outcome was expected.

Eder Militão's injury severely complicated the situation. In many instances, we failed to show sufficient intensity.

We need to quickly move past this and continue striving forward. We lost three points today, but there are still many matches ahead." Real Madrid currently trails league leaders Barcelona by four points in the standings.
