Real Madrid's Spanish midfielder Marco Asensio celebrates after scoring a goal during their Spanish League match against Celta Vigo at the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium in Valdebebas, northeast of Madrid, on January 2, 2021.
Real rebounded from a draw with promoted Elche on Wednesday to move one point clear at the top of the table, but second-place Atletico Madrid have played three fewer games and can regain the lead when they face Alaves on Sunday.
"After the draw in Elche we wanted to show aggression," said Vazquez.

Real Madrid jumped to the top of La Liga on Saturday with a 2-0 home victory over in-form Celta Vigo. Lucas Vazquez headed in a cross from Marco Asensio at the far post in the sixth minute, barely a minute after Real centre back Nacho had cleared a shot by Celta striker Iago Aspas off the line.
