Ramos then scored from the penalty spot to put Zidane’s side in front in the 65th minute after Eden Hazard, making his first outing in almost three months after recovering from an ankle injury, was tripped by Celta keeper Ruben Blanco. “Dropping two points at home hurts me a lot,” Zidane told reporters. “Celta are a good team that don’t deserve to be near the bottom of the league but it’s painful to lose the two points after we made such a big effort.” Real forward Gareth Bale meanwhile avoided a possible red card for a wild tackle on Celta’s Rafinha, escaping with only a booking. The draw ended a five-game winning streak in the league for the leaders and left them on 53 points after 24 games, one ahead of second-placed Barcelona who beat Getafe 2-1 at home on Saturday.
Celta, who had lost on their last seven league visits to the Santiago Bernabeu, climbed out of the relegation zone into 17th place in the standings. “I’m happy with my performance, not so happy with the draw but I think we can do better in our next game,” said Hazard. “When you are winning 2-1 you should win the game. They are good players but they came here just to defend, they had only two chances and scored two goals.”
