Real Madrid were at their best in this match when they got from one end of the field to the other with just three passes. The front three, led by Vinicius Jr, know exactly how to pick apart a back-pedaling, scrambling defense like Celta Vigo's in those moments. They'll repeat that formula in future matches, especially when the opponent takes the game to them like Celta Vigo brashly did. The best way to play against Real Madrid? By giving them a taste of their own medicine: sitting back, defending, and then hitting them in transition. The teams that can execute this plan will be the ones who can take points off Ancelotti's side.

At just 22 years of age, he did not appear fazed in the least by the pressure that came with replacing the Brazilian who led Madrid to multiple titles before transferring to Manchester United earlier this week.
What stood out about these 90 minutes was his ability to make the big defensive play and break up the opposition's attack, and then to immediately launch Real Madrid in transition with his runs and passes. The Frenchman will help continue to make Real Madrid deadly in transition as they showed once again in the second half against Celta Vigo. His run and pass on the final goal by Fede Valverde was a sample of just how valuable he will be for Los Merengues in that phase of the game.

Celta Vigo vs. Real Madrid result, score: Modric, Vinicius, Benzema on the mark in big road winCasemiro is gone, but it's the same old Real Madrid. The defending La Liga champions were ruthless in Vigo, torching the local side 4-1 for their second straight road victory to start the new league season. After the two sides exchanged penalty kicks awarded for nearly identical hand balls, Luka Modric scored a highlight-reel goal just before the break on a shot from outside the box that found the top right corner. It was a goal that gave the champs a 2-1 lead and they never looked back. In the second half, goals by Vinicius Jr.
While Carlo Ancelotti has made it clear that others can play the position, it's clear that it suits Tchouameni just fine. 1 - Aurélien @atchouameni 🇫🇷 has been the @realmadriden player with the most clearances (4), interceptions (3) and recoveries (9) against Celta de Vigo.

This time it's left-back Javi Galan who delivered and Paciencia's header goes wide right. Thibaut Courtois was on it all the way. 33rd min. Fede Valverde is dispossessed and Franco Cervi cracks a left-footed shot that just misses the right post. Cervi has been active in attack. Valverde has been invisible so far. All the Real Madrid attacks go down the left for Vinicius Jr.
They looked most dangerous when they were crossing the ball into Goncalo Paciencia. Real defender Eder Militao is having a tough time with him, but Militao isn't about to back down from a battle.

Outside of flashes, Real Madrid haven't sparkled. Every Real attack goes down the left for Vinicius, but he's often triple-teamed or fouled. Karim Benzema is getting lost in midfield and hasn't been able to combine with his teammates. Fede Valverde has been anonymous and had this nightmarish play that sums up his night: A mí me da igual cómo acabe este partido, ya ha merecido la pena, esto es historia. com/7vyEc8e5Bw — K 𓅓 (@notkuns0) August 20, 2022 For Celta, they're lively and they've battled hard, as you'd expect from a Chacho Coudet team.
