He real Madrid did not pay the bill for the Champions League and won without many problems or rather without problems against a Celtic which doesn’t really bother the white team. Another victory for Real Madrid in rotations, who are now eight points behind Barcelona who face Atlético de Madrid in this league game.
Continuing his philosophy of rotations, of reserving some of his key players, to face Celta. ancelotti He made five changes from the eleven he played against Chelsea. The Italian knows that for now, the important thing is the Cup final and, above all, the Champions League and for that, you need to have players like Modric and Kroos fresh. Some changes that Celta wanted to take advantage of, but the reality was that the beginning of the game and almost the first half belonged to Real Madrid.
The whites have the ball, they reach the area of a Celta looking for a goal of Courtois match, with Gabri Veiga and Aspas as the main playmakers of the Galician team. Celta wanted to, but they couldn’t resist a Real Madrid who pressed the ball well out of dthe Celtic. Both teams are very clear about what they have to play for, but the problem is that the scoring chances are not there or expected. It was so loud and rare in a game that it wasn’t broken until minute 42. Madrid cut off a Celta counter and the ball, after a great pass from Ceballos, landed at the feet of Vstart put it in a small place for it Marco Asensio will score 1-0. That shot was the first and only one for Real Madrid between three sticks in a first half in which Celta had nothing.
So, with that data and the 1-0 of Asensio it rested. The second half started with a blow for Celta in the form of Real Madrid’s second goal. Its author is military after a corner kick by Asensio and headed by the Brazilian to make it 2-0 in the 48th minute. If the game is already decided for Real Madrid, that goal is less than closing it. Celta did not give up and went for the goal that would have allowed them to enter the game, but the defensive gaps that Real Madrid were experiencing were not enough. One team, the whites with a favorable score relaxed defensively, but not offensively as they were around the goal on more than one occasion. Benzema gets to it, but Villar keeps it out with a great save. Minutes went by without Real Madrid seeing their victory in danger against a Celta who kept trying, but without a shot between the three sticks, it was very difficult for them to think of a comeback.
Ancelotti did not like the scenario of this match and he did not hesitate to inform his players with a kind of anger, worrying from the sideline for the team to reconnect with the game after a series of funny turnover near the goal. Courtois area. That push of attention reactivated Real Madrid, although not enough to get excited, but enough to get close to Celta’s place again. And what if not, the usual save of Courtois did not miss the appointment. This time, the goalkeeper avoided Aspas’ goal in a one-on-one.
From then until the end of the match, little or nothing happened on the Bernabéu pitch. Real Madrid slowed the game down considerably while Celta continued to look for their goal, but without the same intensity as before. Come on, we’re not going to hurt ourselves as much or as little as possible. start of Ancelotti and Benzema. The striker was bored with his change in London and the Italian wanted to avoid a new ‘mosqueo’ and left him on the field until the end.
