La Liga Leaders Real Madrid have slumped to their second defeat in a week by suffering a 2-1 loss at the hands of Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey at the Santiago Bernabeu.

After a goalless first half, the visitors went ahead in the 64th minute through Iago Aspas who scored his 15th goal of the season to make it 1-0 for his side.


But, Real found their equalizer soon when Marcelo blasted a ferocious volley into the back of the net in the 69th minute.


1 minute later, Celta managed to regain their lead as Jonny coolly slotted the ball past the keeper to make it 2-1 and also give his side a hard-earned advantage when the 2 sides meet again at Balaidos next week.
