Although Real Madrid looked uplifted and with a clearly better image lately, they fell into the trap of Telta and suffered a home defeat with a score of 2-0.
However, the defeat was not the only bad thing at the Santiago Bernabeu for the Madrid side, who lost Ender Militao to injury (hamstring) and Garcia, Carreras red, Xabi Alonso out for next week's away game against Alaves and running out of defenders.
As for the Galintians, they celebrated their fourth win in their last six La Liga games, climbed to 19 points and are sneaking glances in Europe, with Real for their part staying -4 behind leaders Barcelona.
The first half was a monologue for Alonso's side, but his players failed to convert any of the chances they created, with Guler, Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicius putting them to waste.
As if all that wasn't enough, Swedberg came on in the 53rd minute to freeze the Bernabeu, with Fran García sent off eleven minutes later. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Real continued to search for the equalizing goal and had their moments, but they were left in the final with nine due to the dismissal of Carrera who saw two yellow cards in the space of a few seconds (90'+2').
In the very next minute, Swedberg put Courtois past Aspas's cross and headed the ball into the net, putting the icing on the cake in a huge victory for Telta!
