Andy Williams: I find the Bernabeu renovations to be an embarrassment. On one side you have Real saying they had to form the European Super League to save football but they spend 10s of millions on an ego project and were prepared to pay €100m+ for Mbappe. Get real Real…
Real Madrid 1-2 Celta Vigo
The whistle blows as Real Madrid players leave the pitch to whistles from the 30,000 fans inside the Bernabeu. Their frustrations get louder as the officials make their way down the tunnel.
It's not going their way so far, but there is still a long way to go.
All credit to Celta Vigo. They stood firm in defence and took their chances at the other end.
Real Madrid 1-2 Celta Vigo
Jeison Murillo goes into the book for a challenge on Eden Hazard. Murillo slides into Hazard as the Belgian speeds past him and catches him again as he goes to ground.
Real Madrid 1-2 Celta
Eden Hazard plays a free-kick short to Luka Modric, who lofts a ball in towards the back post. Karim Benzema has the ball in the back of the net, but it's ruled out for offside thanks to Casemiro's involvement in the build-up.
Real Madrid 1-2 Celta Vigo
Real fans are getting a bit rattled now as the whistles start to ring around the Bernabeu. They aren't having it all their way on their return to the stadium.
Franco Cervi
Wow!
The referee plays a brilliant advantage for a foul on Iago Aspas as Celta Vigo burst forward and it couldn't have worked out much better for the visitors.
As the ball comes in from Hugo Mallo, Franco Cervi tries a fancy finish on the turn as he beats Thibaut Courtois with a backheel. His effort crashes onto the post and flies back to the Argentine, who spins back around and fires home from close range.
Great goal.
Real Madrid 1-1 Celta Vigo
Luka Modric gets in on the action with a low drive towards the back post, but Matias Dituro dives low to block the danger. He's been pretty busy the last 20 minutes or so.
Karim Benzema
It's been coming!
Real Madrid fans are given something to cheer about as Karim Benzema pulls them level.
Federico Valverde provides the the cut back and Benzema lets it bounce a couple of times before rifling a shot into the back of the net.
That's more like it.
Real Madrid 0-1 Celta Vigo
Ouch. Celta Vigo have a free kick as Eder Militao catches Denis Suarez on his ankle with his studs.

Real Madrid 0-1 Celta Vigo
This time it's Eden Hazard who has a crack, but his low, hard drive is gathered by Matias Dituro as the visitors breathe another sigh of relief.
Real Madrid 0-1 Celta Vigo
Karim Benzema does well to find Casemiro, but the Brazilian fires high and wide under pressure from the Celta Vigo defence inside the box. Real Madrid are knocking at the door.
Real Madrid 0-1 Celta Vigo
It's been a good response from Real Madrid since going behind. Celta Vigo have barely been able to get out of their own half, but the visitors are withstanding the pressure.
Real Madrid 0-1 Celta Vigo
It's worth mentioning Real Madrid haven't lost any of their last 14 meetings with Celta Vigo in La Liga.
The Galician side are winless so far this season, with only one point so far from a possible nine.
Real Madrid 0-1 Celta Vigo
There are appeals for handball from Real Madrid as Miguel Gutierrez powers a header on target, but it's deflected off Celta Vigo's defenders and easy enough for Matias Dituro to save.
Santi Mina
Oh. That wasn't on the script.
The first goal at the Bernabeu in 560 days is scored by Celta Vigo's Santi Mina.
The Real Madrid defenders get in a right mix up as Mina nips between Nacho and Casemiro to fire past Thibaut Courtois and into the bottom corner.
The forward slides on his knees on the silky new surface. Great start for the visitors!
Real Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo
Celta Vigo show early signs that they are looking to spoil the party here. The visitors enjoy knocking the ball around in Madrid's half and an early cross comes in, but it's straight into the hands of Thibaut Courtois.
