Real Madrid travel to Balaídos to face Celta de Vigo, seeking three points in LaLiga before a crucial week that includes their first match against Manchester City in the Champions League.
Álvaro Arbeloa’s team, dealing with several absences, face Celta Vigo in LaLiga.
Madrid Seek Respite After Consecutive Defeats
This match is a chance for Real Madrid to get back to winning ways, which could boost the club’s morale after recent setbacks. The team has suffered complicated news, including Rodrygo’s injury. Rodrygo suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the rest of the season, including the chance to play in the World Cup.
Rodrygo’s absence is a blow to the team and the coach. Real Madrid arrive at this match after two consecutive defeats against Osasuna and Getafe. They aim to break this losing streak in Jornada 27.
Celta Vigo’s Form and Borja Iglesias’ Threat
Celta de Vigo are in good form, with four consecutive victories. They currently sit sixth in the league, in a European qualification spot. Borja Iglesias is a key player for Celta; the forward has scored 10 goals in the league this season and will be looking to add to that tally against Madrid.
