“Celta is always a tough game, but we’re confident and we're in good form”, said Ancelotti in the press conference ahead of the clash. The coach has named his squad for the match, which includes Karim Benzema, who has a great record against Celta, scoring seven goals in his previous three meetings. Meanwhile, another madridista in sensational form is David Alaba. The Austrian has found the net in the last two games after his wonderful free-kick against Almería and his goal against Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Super Cup.
Celta
The Galician outfit got the league campaign underway with a 2-2 draw Balaídos when they hosted Espanyol. The hosts let the three points slip when they conceded an injury-time equaliser from the penalty spot. Paciencia and Iago Aspas were on target for Celta, and Madrid will have to keep an eye on the latter, as he racked up 18 goals last season.
