It’s end to end in this half and Madrid are guilty of standing off Iglesias who rifles his effort just over the crossbar.

Bamba finds his way past the Madrid defence onto a chipped ball through the middle. However, Bamba can only get the slightest of touch on the ball with his lunge and Courtois saves.

Bamba decides against the cross to Iglesias instead shooting at goal and the Madrid goalkeeper easily saves.

GOAL! CELTA VIGO 1 REAL MADRID 2 (VINICIUS JUNIOR)

With almost his first touch of the game Modric plays a perfect ball into the path of Vinicius Junior who calmly slots the ball past the goalkeeper.

Camavinga is taken off for Rodrygo

Real look almost certain to double his side’s lead as Bellingham plays the ball in for Mbappe but Manquillo throws himself at the ball and denies the shot.

IGLESIAS CLOSE TO NETTING

An excellent move by Celta open up their visitors and Swedberg plays an inviting ball for Iglesias across the six-yard box which evades his team-mate.

Real Madrid have not looked in good form at all during this match and are on the ropes here. The hosts open up Real again but the final ball is behind the runner.

The young Englishman picks the ball up inside his own half and is charging at the home defence. He then sends a rifled effort across goal and just wide of the post. It certainly had goalkeeper Guaita worried.

We are back underway at the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos. The home fans will be encouraged by that first half display.

However, Madrid could be out of sight within seconds of this second half.

BELLINGHAM LEFT FRUSTRATED

Left out on the wing and having to track back to get involved in play Bellingham has shown his frustration during that half.

His main outburst was towards Vinicius Junior who refused to cross from a tight angle and instead shot wide.

That’s the end of the first half.

A very strange half in which Real Madrid have been struggling to move through the gears. Celta Vigo had their early chances, but were unlocked by some Mbappe brilliance.

MADRID CONTROL TOWARDS BREAK

The early optimism from Celta Vigo is being slowly drained away from them.

In the last 20 minutes the hosts have been largely chasing the ball. Bellingham has even been helping at the back to snuff out any danger

The Madrid forward turns and twists leaving his marker chasing shadows before sending his effort from a tight angle wide.

Calta are really struggling to control him this evening.

A lovely clipped by Valverde finds Vinicius Junior inside the box. However, the forward is not set completely and flicks his header wide.

There is a reason Camavinga rarely scores and as play opens up for him he decides to take an effort from range. However, the ball was never going to threaten the goal and is well over.

MILITAO HURTS HIMSELF WITH CHALLENGE

An excellent run from Bamba on the overlap forces Militao into a lunging challenge.

He makes the tackle but looks in some discomfort as he gets up. The defender plays on but it might not be for long.
