Match preview
Having already captured major silverware and got three points on the board, it’s been a very good start to the season for Real Madrid.
Will this continue at Balaídos?
First, los Blancos lifted their record-equalling fifth UEFA Super Cup, beating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0.
David Alaba and then Karim Benzema on target in Helsinki then days ago.
Then, the champions’ title defence didn’t get off the best start as they fell 1-0 down against newly-promoted Almería after just six minutes.
Real created umpteen chances at Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos before, eventually, equalising through Lucas Vázquez from close-range on the hour mark.
Then came the magic moment with Alaba, who’d come on mere seconds earlier, curling home a free-kick with his first touch of the night.
So, on the road again, will Carlo Ancelotti’s team make it two wins out of two in La Liga?
Celta de Vigo meanwhile also looked set for a win last weekend, racing into a 2-0 lead against Espanyol, with talisman Iago Aspas and then new signing Gonçalo Paciência scoring.
However, the Catalan club fought back at Balaídos and left with a point, equalising in the eighth minute of additional time.
Frustration for Eduardo Coudet and his side.
Given this, Real Madrid are big favourites to leave Galicia victorious.
