Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! RC Celta de Vigo welcome Real Madrid CF for this crunch clash at Estadio Abanca-Balaidos.
- 5' The 22-year-old Williot Swedberg has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 15' It is a cagey affair so far. RC Celta de Vigo in their 3-4-3 trying to find a way past Real Madrid CF's compact 3-4-2-1.
- 19' A meaty challenge results in booking for Carlo Ancelotti on 19.
- 20' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Kylian Mbappe makes it 0-1.
- 25' It looks surprising Real Madrid CF does not make any changes. Eduardo Camavinga has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' Real Madrid CF are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 35' The travelling Real Madrid CF supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 40' A quiet spell here at Estadio Abanca-Balaidos. RC Celta de Vigo seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 50' 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 Javier Manquillo suffering a number of foals already.
- 51' The deadlock is broken! Williot Swedberg gets on the scoresheet on 51 minutes.
- 56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 61' Lucas Vazquez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 63' Real Madrid CF make a change. Eduardo Camavinga trudges off to be replaced by Rodrygo on 63 minutes.
- 64' The supporters are chanting for Luka Modric. He replaces Federico Valverde on 64 minute.
- 66' Real Madrid CF is taking the lead after the goal scored by Vinicius Junior on 66.
- 71' RC Celta de Vigo have won 375 goals from 320 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 72' Javi Rodriguez is ready to make an impact after coming on for Javier Manquillo at the 72 minute mark.
- 75' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Lucas Vazquez.
- 78' A change in the RC Celta de Vigo ranks — Jonathan Bamba exits the field as Pablo Duran enters on 78.
- 82' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Hugo Sotelo on 82 minutes.
- 82' The crowd applauds Kylian Mbappe as he leaves the pitch. Dani Ceballos steps in for Real Madrid CF.
- 87' The RC Celta de Vigo bench stirs into life. Fran Beltran is withdrawn and Damian Rodriguez gets his opportunity.
- 90' Marcos Alonso picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Real Madrid CF players.
