Celta de Vigo and Real Madrid face each other today at Balaídos in the match corresponding to the second round of the First Division. Last season, ‘Los Blancos’ won both duels against Celta. First, at the Bernabéu in a match that ended with a 5-2 win for Ancelotti's team. In the second leg, the victory would be more difficult and with a closer score (1-2).

In Real Madrid's first eleven without Casemiro in the team, after the official confirmation of his departure to Manchester United, all eyes will be on Tchouaméni, who in Vigo picks up the baton from the Brazilian to begin to consolidate himselfas a 'starter' in the white team. Ancelotti will be without Kroos, Odriozola and Rodrygo. Carvajal returns to the starting XI.

Real Madrid faces its third official match of the season after two victories in a row, after winning the European Super Cup against Eintracht (2-0) and against Almería in the league opener (1-2). Now, they would be getting their third consecutive victory.

It does so in the midst of the 'Casemiro bombshell', but with the aim of maintaining the good dynamic in the squad. With the departure of the Brazilian, Tchouaméni, Camavinga and Modric control the midfield and they have done so against Celta in a dominant way.

Madrid recovered from a bad start to the match

The match started badly for Real Madrid, with Ancelotti's team looking uncomfortable on the pitch. Thanks to a penalty awarded by VAR review and a superb goal by Luka Modric, Madrid was able to regain control of the match.
