Real Madrid did not fail, comfortably beating a weak Celta at the Santiago Bernabéu. The white team was much better without putting in any extraordinary effort and took all three points thanks to goals from Asensio and Militao.
The main protagonist of the match was Eduardo Camavinga. With the permission of Marco Asensio, who put on another great game and scored his fourth game in the league, the Frenchman was all over the place and produced a sensational game to the delight of the Madrid fans.

Celta, past the details of Gabri Veiga and a clear chance for Aspas who avoided Courtois, did very little at the Bernabéu and remain twelfth on 36 points, too far from the European zone they dreamed of until recently. There are still days left, yes, but they need to play much better if they want to fulfill that dream.

Ancelotti, in press conference
Camavinga and Asensio. “They’ve both been really good. I liked the attitude of the team. These two stood out more than the others, I agree”.
The grass. “It’s quite clear that the work influences the pitch. They’ve changed it regularly and they’re going to change it periodically. It’s nothing new or surprising. They’re working on it and for City they’re going to change it naturally. With the works they will deteriorate pretty quickly.”
Three changes and too late. “Because the team did well on the pitch. We gave rest to those who were more tired and we made changes to slow down the game. The team is very good and so are the players.”
goalscorers. “It’s a quality we have individually with fantastic players up front. In the last four games we’ve had a clean sheet and that means health and collective effort. If there’s defensive commitment, with the quality we have up front, it’s very normal that you score goals”.
The best in the world on energy level. “I don’t know, I can’t say. What I see is that we have young players with extraordinary energy. Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Valverde, Vinicius, Rodrygo… they look like modern footballers”.
Vinicius vs. Haaland fights Ballon d’Or. “No, no. It will be a spectacular game. It will be good for football, but it is not one footballer against another.”
Left backs of the world. “What I see from Camavinga is that he has extraordinary quality in all facets, physically, technically… he is young, he is getting better and I think he can play anywhere on the pitch. If I see him as a midfielder or central defender also complies. He is a special player.”
Benzema 90 minutes. “Pichichi? I don’t know what Karim thinks. He wants to play, but personally I’m not interested, I’m interested in Real Madrid winning their games”.
Nacho. “Of course Nacho comes to mind as a central defender, he is a central defender. He is a pessimistic defender and he fulfills his duties as a right back, left back and as a central defender”.
Starting team between now and the end of the season. “The eleven chosen for Osasuna and City, we have to deal with them well in the coming games. I have a lot of confidence in the team. We can handle the rotation well because the attitude of the team is good. It is not easy when you at 6 o’clock on Thursday morning, playing on Saturday night is not easy. Against Cádiz and Celta, the team performed mentally, they are very strong”.
Carlos Carvalhal, at a press conference
“I think Real did a lot to win and they deserved to win. After the first 15/20 minutes we went down a bit, there were more transitions where we had problems. In the second half we conceded a goal at the start of the match. second and it impacted”.
“I don’t think we went down after the break. We drew in a difficult game against Almeria, we managed to draw a very difficult game against Sevilla and we didn’t do well against Mallorca. But against Real Madrid my team had a good calm”.
“I know Militao from Porto. For me he is the best defender in the world. I know it’s not very good to ask him for a shirt on the pitch, but I’m going to do it anyway, that’s how I am. I I asked him son, who asked me. I only have two shirts: that of Petr Cech of Arsenal and that of Militao of Real Madrid”.
“Vinicius is already one of the best players in the world.”
