Champions League
Celtic lost, Real touched down and the European champions had a brace with a hat-trick
Real Madrid defeated Giorgos Giakoumakis’ Celtic 3-0 in Scotland in a game in which the hosts created chances that they squandered unlike the visitors, who scored in the stages they created. Concerned about Benzema, who left injured in the 30th minute.
Real Madrid beat Giorgos Giakoumakis’ Celtic, who started the home team in Matchday 1 of this season’s Champions League, 3-0 in Scotland. A game where the home team created chances, had a post and generally threatened Courtois’ goal but failed to score.
On the contrary, the visitors scored goals in the stages they designed, scoring three goals with Vinicius, Modric and Hazard. However, the European champions saw their big star Karim Benzema leave injured in the 30th minute and there are concerns over his condition.
Celtic came into play with a chance from the dressing room when Giakoumakis only worked with Adaba in the 30th minute, who fired the shot but the ball went wide. In the 13th minute, the home side threatened again when Adaba played one against Courtois, but he failed to beat the Belgian keeper.
Eight minutes later, Celtic had a goal when Giakoumakis collected the ball nicely in the box and passed it to McGregor, who pulled in a powerful shot that was stopped by Courtois’ right post.
Real started to intensify their game after 25 minutes and threatened for the first time of the game in the 29th minute when Valverde, who was in shooting position, tried, the ball going wide of Hart’s goal. A minute later, the European champions saw Benzema leave the pitch injured and Hazard take his place.
Two goals in four minutes for Real
In the 56th minute, when Celtic pressed high, Real let the ball circulate well, Vinicius as the final runner, who easily scored the 1-0 for the guests from close range. Four minutes later it was Hazard who broke away on a frontal attack and slotted in for Modric on the right. The Croatian midfielder dribbled into the penalty area and fired from the outside line against Hart to make it 2-0 for Real.
The final 3-0 for the Spaniards came in the 77th minute when Carvajal took the ball after a nice partnership on the right, turning one to Hazard who had no trouble placing and scoring.

Earlier, English Manchester City played a match against French Monaco in a new round of the UEFA Champions League.
After the match, the head coach of the “Locals” Pep Guardiola commented on the performance of the powerful team.
“In football you can always perform better – and this is the result. Our game today was very good in many ways. And step by step we will improve our results.”
Ale mi gave many speeches today in the right way. We created many scoring opportunities and found Phil Foden active in the first half. Most Gravians played at a fairly high level.
Previously, they did not let their opponents create anything, but created the chances themselves. We adapted very well to the superniks and played very well. This is my opinion.
If you get a good match on the right side, of course you have to… Today we got a great ball, that’s all I can tell you right away.
Holland? It’s really good. He plays to score goals. He struggled with three centre-backs and two supporting defenders in front of him, and it wasn’t easy for his partners to know that. Ale, we can work hard to score goals.
Tse bula spravdi garna gra. We created a lot of chances, but unfortunately in the end we didn’t defend perfectly against a free kick, which would have been quite a few, and we conceded a penalty, which was awarded when the ball hit the first one… well, that’s it.
Referee? “I have nothing to say to the Spanish referees,” said the Spanish footballer.
In the coming round, English Manchester City will visit Spanish Villarreal.
