LIVE. Real - Celta: Vinicius is a real poison for Celta's defense, follow the live stream

Borja Gonzalez, sent into the game on a Celta counterattack, was flagged offside despite being on the same line, according to replays. Real Madrid are playing with fire.

The Brazilian striker is very visible at the start of the match and manages to make a lot of difference on his left side

Real Madrid had their first clear chance, courtesy of Tchouanémi. The French international managed to get his header in from a corner, but missed the mark. The ball went over the opposing goal.

Bis repetita, second corner from Celta, and another header from Marcos Alonso, this time it's Courtois who deflects the ball out for a corner

The former Blaugrana cuts a Celta corner at the near post with a nice, well-placed header, the ball just going over the bar

The young Turk tries to take a Vinicius cross from the left as best he can, but his volley lacks precision. The ball goes well over the bar.

Great recovery work from the Madrid players, with Ceballos and Valverde well placed in the center of the game.

Antonio Rüdiger has been suspended for six matches by the Spanish Federation after his violent gesture towards the referee in Saturday's Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona (a 3-2 defeat after extra time). The Real Madrid defender, sent off at the very end of the match for throwing an object at referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, was facing a suspension of up to twelve matches. A lesser evil, then, for the German international, who has since apologized.

In Madrid, another case had a more lenient outcome: Jude Bellingham's red card was overturned. This decision helps to moderate, in part, the tension surrounding a final marked by tension—both on the pitch and behind the scenes. Bellingham will be there this afternoon against Celta

It's a saga that, for months, has veered between media hype and diplomatic misunderstanding. But this time, the epilogue seems well and truly written: Carlo Ancelotti will take charge of the Brazilian national team. After a long waltz of thwarted intentions and muted denials, the Italian coach is preparing to open a new chapter in his career. However, he will only join the Canarinha once his Madrid mission is fully completed.

According to the daily AS, May 12th has been chosen to formalize the announcement. A significant choice, as it will come on the heels of a tense El Clasico between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, ​​which could seal the fate of the championship. It's a way for Ancelotti to reiterate his priorities: first the Casa Blanca, then Brazil.

Under Ednaldo Rodrigues' leadership, the Brazilian Federation appears to have learned its lessons from the past. This time, there's no showdown or ultimatum: the institution has agreed to align itself with the pace set by the Italian, including his desire to remain in his position until the end of the Spanish season. The financial details of the agreement remain deliberately vague, but everything suggests that the final barriers have been lifted calmly.

After Barcelona's 2-1 victory at Real Valladolid yesterday, Real Madrid find themselves seven points behind the leaders before facing Celta. Anything other than a victory would force the Merengues to say goodbye to the title. With four matches remaining and a Clasico next week, Real Madrid have no room for error.

This match of the twenty-eighth round will be broadcast on Bein Sports 1. To watch the match in streaming, you must go to the Bein Connect platform.

International referee Jesus Gil Manzano will officiate the Real-Celta match. He too has been at the center of several controversies this week, highlighted by Real Madrid TV. As a reminder, it was the same Manzano who officiated this duel last season, sending off Jude Bellingham late in the match after the Englishman, furious at the disallowed goal in the dying moments, said: "That was a fucking goal."
