Marco Asensio and Militao sealed Real Madrid's easy win over Celta Vigo with their goals in a game of the 30th day of La Liga, bringing the defending champions to -8 behind leaders Barcelona.
Although hopes of catching up with the Blaugrana, who host Atletico Madrid, are slim, Carlo Ancelotti wants his side to continue winning in the league to keep pace ahead of the Champions League semi-final with Manchester City and the final King's Cup with Osasuna.
In the meantime, Real Sociedad has taken an important step towards accessing the next Champions League, beating Rayo Vallecano 2-1 in comeback and taking advantage of Betis Sevilla's 3-2 defeat at Osasuna.
Now the Basque team is fourth with six points ahead of the Andalusians.
