Real had won five straight in La Liga to accelerate past Barcelona and they welcomed back Eden Hazard, who had been out since November last year. In the 65th minute, Celta goalkeeper Ruben Blanco pulled down Hazard and Sergio Ramos slammed the penalty into the bottom corner of the net. With four minutes left, a sharp pass from Denis Suarez, who had come on in the 71st minute, caught the Real defense flat-footed. “An extraordinary pass,” Zidane said. Elsewhere, CA Osasuna won 1-0 away at Athletic Bilbao and CD Leganes were held to a goalless draw by Real Betis Balompie.
