Carlo Ancelotti’s men visited Rafa Benítez’s Celta in Vigo
They leave with bad news: Vinicius’ muscle injury
Real Madrid was the one that celebrated the centenary of Celta. The meringues visited Balaídos and triumphed 0-1 thanks to solitary so much from Jude Bellinghamwho has emerged as a ‘white’ scorer and as an aerial threat, with another goal from a set piece in LaLiga.
The game could have been a round victory, if it weren’t for the bad news of Vinicius’ injury. The Brazilian had to leave the field in the first half, touching the back of his leg.
These are, 1×1, the scores of the Real Madrid players in Balaídos.
6
Kepa Arrizabalaga, goalkeeper
Uneasy
In the first half they scored a goal for him due to a bad start, but the VAR saved him with a non-existent foul. For the rest, he seemed nervous, although he was able to save zero.
6
David Alaba, defender
Polyvalent
It is good for Ancelotti to be able to play with defenses that know how to occupy several zones. He was central and left back at times during the game.
7
Antonio Rüdiger, defender
impassable
Very complete game by the German defender, who had to become impassable with a Larsen who wanted to cause problems but was appeased by the German.
6
Carvajal, defense
Correct
Lazy in attack, although firm in defense. It did not serve as support for Valverde on the lane; however, he helped a lot to provide security in the rear.
6
Fran Garcia, defender
Lung
Tireless on the left wing the signing of Rayo. Ancelotti withdrew him from the field after the enormous physical wear on him.
6
Tchouameni, midfielder
Strength
The French acted very confident in a core area that increasingly belongs to him. ‘Carletto’ decided to rotate him, changing him for Kroos in the second half.
6
Eduardo Camavinga, midfielder
Omnipresent
His versatility is well used in Madrid’s messy scheme. He appears all over the place, firm on the cut and supportive for the attack.
6
Fede Valverde, midfielder
Leader
He pulled the car when no one did in the midfield. He only lacked the goal for the Uruguayan, although it was not for not trying: his shot was not suitable for him.
7
Jude Bellingham
Goal scorer
We may not have seen much of the English player on the playing circuit, but he once again showed his ‘killer’ bearing with another header worth three points.
5
Rodrygo Goes, striker
fallon
When he had to assume offensive responsibility for Vini’s injury, he only managed to miss a penalty that could get his team into trouble. Bad game.
sc
Vinicius Jr., forward
Injured
Big problem for Real Madrid, who loses his figure indefinitely due to muscle problems. With Benzema in Arabia and Mbappé without signing, Florentino will be in trouble.
6
Joselu, striker
Assistant
He entered with the difficult task of replacing Vinicius. He scored, though it was immediately disallowed. He then had his ‘retaliation’ combing the ball that Bellingham put into the goal.
Luka Modric, midfielder
6
Toni Kroos, midfielder
Tactical
The German entered and the ‘white’ goal emerged from his boot. His corner was the one that Joselu finished off for Bellingham to score.
sc
nacho, defense
Testimonial
He barely had minutes on the field to contribute something to the process.
