Real Madrid looks to maintain a 100% perfect start to the new La Liga season this weekend when they take on Celta Vigo. The match schedules for Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu with kickoff at 10 pm.
Los Blancos currently sit at the top of the La Liga table after taking seven-point from their opening three fixtures. On the other hand, Celta Vigo recently collected one point from the three opening fixtures to sit 18th in the table.
The Bernabeu is back! This weekend, Real Madrid will host their first game in more than 18 months after recording a 2-0 win over FC Barcelona earlier this year.
The stadium had been renovated to make way for the famous arena’s return, and now Celta are coming out from Galicia with an eye on beating Los Blancos once again before it all returns to normal next week when they head off on another tour of duty across Europe
The Spanish giants have enjoyed quite some success within La Liga and other competitions, but nothing can compare2 to those three Champions League titles won under Florentino Perez’ watch between 2018 – 2021.
Celta Vigo has had a disappointing start to the new season, picking up just one point from their first three fixtures. They’re currently sitting in 18th position overall and will need an improvement if they want any hope of getting promoted into La Liga next year.
