He Real Madrid andis in the draw for the C quarterfinalsKing’s oppa. After the debacle of the Spanish Super Cup, the whites have to beat Celta no matter what to avoid the red lights of the crisis. Although they almost caught up as the white team eliminated Celta in extra time, coming back from 2-0 down with goals in the 83rd minute and in the 91st minute. ANDndrick and Valverde, eIn the second half of extra time, they prevented Madrid’s cold night from turning into tragedy. Madrid won, but the truth is they did it with a lot of refereeing controversy. At 0-0, Luna made a penalty to Swedberg. The referee did not point anything out, nor did the VAR. The action continued and Mbappe He scored 1-0 as Real Madrid sealed the victory.
The match against Celta was a test for Ancelotti and the team in a nail-biting Bernabéu that did not hesitate to bully Tchouaméni and who also whistled at Ancelotti. In fact, the only one spared from that ‘burn’ was Asencio, who was a starter. And Ancelotti changed the eleven by removing Camavinga, Valverde. Rodrygo and Bellingham. There was no change in the drawing, but they brought together Modric and Ceballos to have more of the ball in this final for Real Madrid. Celta, for its part, was very clear about what it had to do, hold on and continue to counterattack. Although what the Galician team certainly didn’t expect was Real Madrid’s poor start. In fact, Celta were the first to have a chance, as well starfelt dropping the ball on the crossbar.
This angered the Bernabéu fans even more seeing as how their team still seemed to be in Arabia. Real Madrid gradually imposed themselves and monopolized the ball against a Celta team that was getting closer and closer to its goalkeeper and trusted everyone on the counterattack. That local control doesn’t mean obvious opportunities come. Yes, Real Madrid reached the Galician area, but it melted there. Just uncheck them Mbappe and his speed and Brahim’s skill created danger. And it was the Frenchman who opened the scoring in the 37th minute with a personal move. A play, with a goal, that started with a penalty of Luna that the referee did not signal and the VAR He didn’t hit him. All this, in response to complaints from a Celta who didn’t understand why Williot Swedberg wasn’t awarded Lunin’s penalty.
Some complaints to no avail as 1-0 went on the scoreboard. Using the Real Madrid, led by Mbappe, Looking for more goals and with Celta still thinking about the unsigned penalty, the match reached half-time at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The second half started with a score of 2-0 for Real Madrid. A purpose of Vinicius in the 48th minute born from a long pass by Brahim, who ended up giving the ball to the Brazilian to score. Celta advanced their lines looking for a comeback, which meant that Real Madrid had space and that was what the white team wanted most. So, Celta saw Lunin up close, but the clearest opportunity was for meringues. With one from Vinicius where the Bernabéu licked its lips seeing 3-0, but starfelt He dodged it on the goal line.
The minutes ticked by with the 3-0 score closer to 2-1, despite the attempts of a Celta that put Lunin in trouble on several occasions. Real Madrid scored 3-0. Its author was Arda Güler in the 77th minute, but it was disallowed due to the offside of Vinicius, who gave the goal to the Turk. Just when everything seemed to be decided, Celta added to the excitement in the final period with Bamba making it 2-1 in the 83rd minute after a huge mistake by Camavinga. Fear appeared in Real Madrid and became panic in 2-.2 of Marcos Alonso in the 91st minute when he converted the penalty from Asencio to Bamba.
What seemed impossible became a reality, the return of the Galician in less than 10 minutes. No more goals and extra time entered. Real Madrid started that extra time with more enthusiasm, but were unable to create scoring chances against a calm Celta, who were looking for their chance to score again. Of these, the Galician team claimed a penalty of Rüdiger which was reviewed by VAR, but came to nothing. With the score at 2-2, extra time was reached and both teams had 15 minutes left to avoid going to penalties.
Endrick He brought joy back to the Bernabéu with a 3-2 score in the 107th minute, with a left-footed shot from the edge of the area. Celta didn’t give up, though Valverde It ended the Whites’ 4-2 defeat in the 112th minute that hurt Celta, who did not go with such enthusiasm to find a new comeback. Real Madrid had a calmer time towards the end of the match and Endrick made it 5-2 in the 119th minute with a back-heeled goal. That was the end of the game and the white terrors.
