Real Madrid continued an impressive run in the first half of their clash with Celta Vigo.

Los Blancos, who will move level with Barcelona with a win before Hansi Flick’s side play tomorrow, took the lead midway through the first half.

That came as Kylian Mbappé thrashed the ball into the top corner from outside the penalty area in a game that had otherwise seen them generate very little.

And the Frenchman continued a bizarre yet impressive record; it means that all of Real Madrid’s last three La Liga goals have come from outside the penalty area, something that they haven’t achieved since 2014.

Is it a sign of a tactical evolution at the Bernabeu?
