CONFIRMED lineups: Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid, 2019 La Liga

Real Madrid published their starting lineup for the upcoming season opener against Celta Vigo in Balaidos.

Real Madrid starting XI: Courtois, Odriozola, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Bale, Vinicius and Benzema

Celta Vigo starting XI: Rubén; Kevin, Costas, Araujo, Olaza; Brais Méndez, Beltrán, Lobotka, Denis Suárez; Iago Aspas and Toro Fdez.

This is a very important game for Madrid to gain confidence and momentum, even more so after Barcelona’s defeat at San Mames last night, which gives Zidane’s men the opportunity to open a three-point lead already. Considering how poorly Madrid have performed during the preseason, it would be a major success, so expect the team to at least try to make a statement.
