Real Madrid have confirmed their starting lineup for the La Liga fixture at Balaídos against Celta Vigo, naming a strong XI as they chase an important away victory. Kick-off is listed at 21:00 CET (15:00 EST) at Balaídos in Vigo, and the match is being framed as a must-win for Los Blancos given Celta’s form and the difficulty of the venue.
Carlo Ancelotti’s chosen Real Madrid starting XI reads: Courtois; Trent, Asencio, Rüdiger, Mendy; Tchouaméni, Arda Guler, Valverde, Thiago; Vinicius and Brahim. The selection pairs experience and youth across the spine of the team, with Vinicius leading the attack alongside Brahim and a midfield mix designed to control possession and supply the forwards.
Celta Vigo’s lineup is listed as tentative (TBC): Radu; Javi Rodríguez, Starfelt, Marcos Alonso; Javi Rueda, Miguel Román, Moriba, Sergio Carreira; Fer López, Borja Iglesias and Swedberg. The hosts will rely on a compact defensive setup and the finishing of Borja Iglesias to trouble Real Madrid on their home turf.
The fixture carries extra weight for Real Madrid: Celta sit sixth in the table, and Balaídos is known as a challenging ground for visiting sides. That combination makes this trip one where Madrid cannot take anything for granted if they are to stay competitive in the title race.
