Last minute of Real Madrid – Celtic, live
Sooooooo good to all of you! The Champions gets up early today in the Santiago Bernabeuwhy play the 18.45 hours it is for those of us who live from these nights. The champion is already classified, for two days, but today the leadership of the group is played. He must finish first and thus avoid a few coconuts in Monday’s draw and have the Bernabéu factor in the round of 16 second leg. For that you have to win or do the same as the Leipzig against Shakhtar in Warsawwhere the other group match is played at the same time.
The final for being first comes to Real Madrid in its worst moment of the courseeven if that is saying too much. It is far from being a critical situation, but Real have just lost in Leipzig a week ago and drew at home against Girona on Sunday after a run that made them almost invulnerable. There is a World Cup just around the corner and it shows, of course it shows. Some doubts have been generated, but today you should put an end to them, doing your homework and receiving your ticket to travel in first class.
Ancelotti recovers a Benzemaalthough the Frenchman has not yet trained with the group and is expected to be on the bench. Tchouaméni will not be there and neither will Hazardwho is now injured. Celtic, last in the group, have only two points and will finish bottom no matter what. Nothing is at stake, although that is saying a lot when you are at the Bernabéu in a match of the highest continental competition. In Glasgow, Madrid scored three against him, at the start of Real’s defense of the crown, king of Europe. Come on, let’s start. That today this starts soon and strong. You know, you are all very invited. The seat of always, the one of every day, the best of all.
