The match itself had looked li☂ke it would be a routine win for the hosts, with Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior finding the net either side of half-time to put them in a strong position.
But things went wrong for Ca𝕴rlo Ancelotti's side inside the final 10 minutes of the 90, s꧒tarting with Jonathan Bamba's 83rd-minute goal to get Celta back in it.
Pablo Duran had initially profited from an Eduardo Camavinga error in possessi🌱on, before squaring it for Bamba to strike and make things interesting.
The visitors then forced extra time through a stoppage-time penalty given away by Raul Asencio for a mistimed tackle on Bamba.🍨 Marcos Alonso beat Andriy Lunin from the spot to set up another half-h🦋our.
But it was in that period that Madrid began to pull away, getting back ahead through Endrick's smart swivel and shot in the 108th minut🐓e.
Federico Valverde then hammered one in from long range four minutes later before Endrick made it a rout on 119 minutes with a delightful ba🍸ckheel flick that nestled in the goal.
