Follow all the live action of the Merengues as they return to play after the heavy defeat in the Spanish Super Cup.
All Goals: Real Madrid vs. Celta de Vigo
Still reeling from the heavy defeat against FC Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final (2-5), Real Madrid begin a stretch of three matches at the Santiago Bernabéu, starting with Celta de Vigo in a Copa del Rey Round of 16 clash with no room for error.
As a result, unlike the matchup against Deportiva Minera in the Round of 32, Carlo Ancelotti is not considering mass rotations or rest for key players. If the regular starters are fit, they will play—with the exception of Thibaut Courtois, as Andriy Lunin will once again take the spot in goal. For now, the Copa remains his domain.
