The Whites took the lead in 4 minutes after some very clear hands from Jenz and 20 minutes from others from O’Riley
Ancelotti’s men play for the first place in the group
Real Madrid took the lead against Celtic Glasgow thanks to two absurd and sensational hands from Jenz and O’Riley when just 20 minutes were played at the Santiago Bernabéu. On a Rodrygo shot, between Hart and the stick they managed to avoid the goal but the rebound fell on Valverde’s feet and his next shot hit the English defender. Modric did not fail. It is the first penalty awarded to Real Madrid in history since the current Champions League format was released.
And shortly after. Vinicius shoots from close range and Hart knocks the ball back, but in the next action Rodrygo’s shot hits Celtic defender O’Riley’s elbow. The VAR reviewed the action and Frappart went to see the play and pointed to the spot. Rodrygo also did not fail.
The two penalties, precisely for the hands, come in the week in which the Madrid club complained about the hands that Asensio was called in the league match against Girona and that allowed Míchel’s men to equalize.
Real Madrid play for first place in their group against Celtic Glasgow and if the game does not change much, the goal is guaranteed.
