We're off.

How good is it to see fans back in this fabulous stadium?

Let's see if the match can live up to the occasion.

There's a minute's silence before kick-off to remember all those who lost their lives during the coronavirus pandemic.

Celta Vigo winger Augusto Solari comes from a family of rich footballing - and Real Madrid - pedigree.

He is a cousin of ex-Real Madrid player and manager Santiago Solari and is related to the former midfielder Fernando Redondo through a family marriage.

“Ever since I was very young I have had a close connection with Real Madrid as an institution because there were relatives of mine who were fortunate enough to wear the Real Madrid jersey,” said the 29-year-old.

“I followed their matches and that was a unique opportunity for me and hopefully this is a unique opportunity for Celta to play in this wonderful stadium at the weekend.

“I come from a football-playing family, the majority have played - Santiago Solari is the most well-known, but also his brothers, my grandfather and my grandfather on my uncle’s side have also been trainers, my brothers - I have been born on a football pitch and the family always encouraged me to enjoy it.”

Celta Vigo captain Hugo Mallo told BBC Sport: “We know what we are going to find - Real Madrid, in their new stadium, the inauguration of their stadium.

"But it doesn’t matter where you play, it is always a very complicated match.

“I don't think they will be any more or less motivated because of the unveiling of their new stadium - they wear the Real Madrid crest on their jersey so they will be extremely focused on ensuring their fans enjoy the game, but we have got to do our job and play a good game, fight us hard as we can and perhaps come away with some points.”

Eden Hazard starts for Real Madrid alongside Karim Benzema, despite reports saying the Frenchman would miss tonight's game. Gareth Bale is injured so misses out. New signing Eduardo Camavinga is on the bench.

Celta Vigo boss Eduardo Coudet makes just the one change with Murillo starting in place of Joseph Aidoo.

More chat about the Bernabeu shortly, but first let's have a look at tonight's starting XIs...

Here's a closer look at some of the work on the Bernabeu. It's still not finished, but you get an idea of what it will be like once work is completed.

Hola and welcome to another tasty La Liga fixture.

This one is extra special as after 560 days, Real Madrid are FINALLY back home.

Their last game at the Bernabeu was a captivating El Clasico match against old rivals Barcelona back on 1 March 2020, with Vinicius Junior and Mariano scoring the goals in the 2-0 win.

The Madridistas have been playing their games at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium - home of their reserve team - whilst the Bernabeu undergoes a pretty big facelift.

Covid restrictions mean only 30,000 supporters are allowed inside the famous stadium for this one as Carlo Ancelotti's side take on Celta Vigo.

Vamos!
