There’s an interesting clash brewing in Spain, and it’s all thanks to Real Madrid stumbling around after losing their long unbeaten streak. Their woes were only made greater when they lost a second straight match a week ago in the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarterfinal tie with Celta Vigo, and now they have to travel to Vigo and try to overturn a 2-1 aggregate deficit.

Celta were magnificent in that match, and their performance sent Real reeling in a bad way. Madrid were able to beat Malaga in the league over the weekend, but did not exactly look impressive in doing so — if Celta Vigo can maintain the same level of intensity, commitment, and quality that they showed a week ago, there’s little reason to think that they can’t come away with another shock result and advance to the semifinals.
And with a pair of away goals in their pocket to act as a tiebreaker, there’s every reason to think that Celta can pull it off. Will it be easy? No. Will it be a brutal fight to the final whistle? Goodness yes. But Celta can do it, and if they pull off another magnificent upset to advance, Real Madrid will have some tough questions to answer.
