Real Madrid-Celta: gunning for a win at the Bernabéu

The fixture list allows no let up. After reaching the Champions League quarter-finals four days ago, Real Madrid return to the Santiago Bernabéu to face Celta on LaLiga matchday 28 (18:30pm CET). The objective for Ancelotti's side is to pick up three more points in their fight for the title.  

Madrid will be looking to continue their good run of form at home, where they have not lost a single game this season. In LaLiga they have 11 wins and two draws. One of the keys to these results is their defensive strength: they have conceded seven goals at home and 18 in total, making them the best team in the league in this respect.

"We'll have to put in some serious intensity and attitude," said Ancelotti in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Celta clash. The Italian will be without Bellingham, LaLiga's top scorer, due to suspension. Vini Jr., who has scored three goals in the last two games, will be available however.

The team coached by Rafa Benítez started the day in seventeenth with a balance of 5 wins, 9 draws and 13 defeats. The Galicians visit the Bernabéu after beating Almeria in their last match and will be looking for another three points to move up the table this afternoon. Strand Larsen is their top scorer with 9 goals.
