Mbappé returns to the field and leads Real. Modric beats Puskas’ record: he is the oldest Blancos

Kylian Mbappé scored after the week characterized by rape accusations received in Sweden. With a great right-footed shot from 25 meters under the top corner he contributed to Real Madrid’s success (1-2) in Vigo against Celta on the 11th matchday of the La Liga. Three important points which momentarily allow Ancelotti’s team to catch Barcelona at the top of the table, expected on Sunday (9pm) with the home match against Sevilla. The French striker broke the deadlock in the 20th minute before coming off amidst boos in the 80th minute.

Modric on the pitch at 39 years and 40 days: Puskas’ record beaten

Celta were not impressed and equalized in the 52nd minute through Swedberg. At this point Ancelotti played the Modric card who, just 3′ after entering the pitch, invented the decisive through ball for Vinicius Junior’s winning goal (66′). With this presence, the Croatian midfielder became the “oldest” player to play an official match for Real Madrid at 39 years and 40 days, beating the record that Puskas, on the pitch at 39 years and 36 days, held since 1966.

Real unbeaten in 42 games in La Liga. And on Saturday there is the Clasico

With this result the Blancos extend their exceptional streak of invincibility in the league to 42 games on the eve of next Saturday’s exciting ‘Clasico’ (9pm) at the Santiago Bernabeu.
