  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 16:05 Greenwich Mean Time 16 March 2019

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Zinedine Zidane is set to give his first HT team-talk since his return.

    He might say that Real need to turn it up a little.

  6. YELLOW CARDpublished at 45 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Gareth Bale surges into the area - is he going to shoot?

    No, the whistle is blown.

    It's a ... free-kick to Celta after Bale is deemed to have fouled Kevin Vazquez.

    But should it have been a red with the TV replay showing that the Welshman elbowed his opponent?

    But... but... because the incident happened outside the area VAR cannot do anything about it.

    Your powers are weak VAR.

  8. VAR! Calling VAR!published at 41 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    ....

  9. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 40 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Gareth Bale, who is in his favourite position on the left, whacks another ball from thw wing that again just misses the touch of Karim Benzema.

    Moments later Marco Asensio goes down in the area!

  10. GREAT SAVE AND CLOSE!published at 36 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Marcelo comes inside and fires a great effort that is pushed away Ruben Blanco.

    From the resulting corner, Toni Kroos' delivery finds the head of Sergio Ramos who thunders a header wide.

    Just a matter of time?

  11. Postpublished at 35 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Sofiane Boufal - the other player from Southampton in the Celta XI - smacks a low shot from the edge of the area which is well saved by Keylor Navas.

    Despite Real posing the greater threat, Navas has had to make the better saves in this half.

  12. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 31 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Marco Asensio's ball from the right, is missed by Karim Benzema's overhead but lands in the path of Bale.

    The Wales international produces the 'crane move' from The Karate Kid but his effort comes off the underside of the bar.

    Great strike.

  13. Postpublished at 29 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Toni Kroos, who we all know likes a shot from 20 yards, fires one which lanmds on the top of Ruben Blanco's top netting.

    The Germany midfielder was a little bit disappointed with that. I expected a low drilled effort.

    C'mon Toni, you can do a lot better.

    At the other end, Brais Mendez smacks a shot right in the Gran Via of Raphael Varane.

    Painful - just breathe pal.

  14. Postpublished at 25 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Not on this occasion as Real clear.

    At the other end, Gaz Bale motors down the left and fizzes in a cross but it fails to find a team-mate.

  15. Postpublished at 23 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Real are letting Celta have a lot of the ball - obviously hoping to catch them on the counter.

    Celta have a free-kick right of the area - might Zidane pay for his tactics?

  16. Postpublished at 21 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Celta really could have done with that early goal.

    They are level on 26 points with 18th place Valladolid and Villarreal who are one place above them.

    It's tight down at the bottom of La Liga.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 16 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Actually it was a phenomenal save.

    Wesley Hoedt whips the ball in from the right and finds the head of Maxi Gomez who forces an incredible one-handed save from Navas.

    The Costa Rican keeper produces a smile after that.

    And so he should.

  18. Postpublished at 11 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Really, really sloppy play from young Kevin Vazquez on the left - not his usual position - who twice allows the ball to go out for a throw-in.

    Moments later Isco's shot clears the bar.

  19. Postpublished at 7 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    Marcelo produces a cracking ball from the left which just misses the head of Karim Benzema in the area.

    Is he the best 'deliverer' of the ball in world football?

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 5 mins

    Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

    It's a Real corner with Toni Kroos over it...

    But wait Toni, Celta need to make a substitution.

    On comes Wesley Hoedt - a Southampton fans favourite ;) - for Junca.

    The corner is then taken but Ramos blasts the ball over the bar.
