Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: Real Madrid CF gets underway.
  • 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 10' The referee has no hesitation. Ferland Mendy is booked for Real Madrid CF — Yellow card on 10.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' Real Madrid CF is showing some good football. However, Real Madrid CF are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Celtic FC and Real Madrid CF are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 30' The Real Madrid CF manager makes a substitution. Karim Benzema departs to be replaced by Eden Hazard.
  • 35' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Callum McGregor suffering a number of foals already.
  • 40' Celtic FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 45' The energy levels are beginning to show. Carlo Ancelotti might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 46' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Liel Abada by Daizen Maeda on 46 minute.
  • 51' Real Madrid CF started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 56' What a moment for Vinicius Junior! That strike on 56 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 57' Vinicius Junior with the second goal in the match!
  • 60' Luka Modric does the damage! The net is bulging and Real Madrid CF surge ahead!
  • 64' Daizen Maeda has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 64.
  • 69' Greg Taylor is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Celtic FC so far.
  • 71' A change in the Real Madrid CF ranks — Aurelien Tchouameni exits the field as Eduardo Camavinga enters on 71.
  • 72' It is a substitution in Celtic FC team. Matt O'Riley is replaced by Aaron Mooy on 72 minute.
  • 77' Brilliant from the ! Eden Hazard makes it 0-4 with a superb finish on 77.
  • 80' Rodrygo gets the nod from Real Madrid CF. He replaces Vinicius Junior and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 82' Sead Haksabanovic gets the nod from Celtic FC. He replaces Jota and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 87' Thibaut Courtois has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Real Madrid CF players.
