For fans craving updates on Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid, this match is the main event and the one to watch first for live coverage and latest developments.

In the Real Madrid squad, the lineup seems largely settled according to head coach Carlo Ancelotti. The goalkeeper position is confirmed with Kepa Arrizabalaga set to start, a decision the Italian manager has publicly reaffirmed. Beyond that, the starting XI carries a familiar backbone. The big question is whether Fede Valverde will operate in midfield alongside Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni, or if the coach chooses Luka Modric or Toni Kroos for a more experienced balance. In attack, the famed frontline trio known as the new white Holy Trinity remains intact with Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo Goes delivering the constant threat.
