La Liga: Real Madrid Gain Advantage In Title Race With 4-0 Win Over Celta Vigo - In Pics
Real Madrid made peace with its fans with a comfortable win over Celta Vigo and reclaimed a seven-point lead at the top of the Spanish league on Sunday.

The victory maintained Madrid’s cushion at the top after second-place Girona beat Osasuna 2-0 on Saturday and third-place Barcelona defeated Mallorca?1-0?on?Friday.
