Real Madrid Celta Vigo 5-2: Benzema hat-trick

Under 2-1, Ancelotti’s Madrid drops the manita in the second half. For the Frenchman there are five centers in four days, waiting for the Nerazzurri

The Blancos return to the Bernabeu after 560 days of absence to enjoy a “manita” in the name of the usual Benzema, more and more symbol and leader of the blancos. Against Celta we have to suffer for a while, thanks to an uncertain defense prone to amnesia but then it ends 5-2. An unleashed Benzema thinks about it, author of a screaming hat-trick and an assist: the Frenchman thus rises to 5 centers in four days, detaching his teammate Vinicius (who also scored) by a goal. To seal the three points, also the signature of the latest jewel to arrive in Madrid, the French Camavinga. While waiting to challenge Inter in the Champions League, Madrid is therefore keeping pace with Atletico and Valencia at the top of the La Liga.

Karim on fire

Despite the long chain of injuries that have plagued Real since the beginning of the season, today Ancelotti finds some important names. In fact, Nacho and Modric meet again, fundamental elements in the backbone of a Real built also on Casemiro and on the Benzema class to direct an orchestra of talents. This time the chosen ones from the deck to accompany the Frenchman are Vinicius and Hazard, but it is always “l’Etoile” that makes the difference as much as it matters. He does it in the 24th minute, when he puts Dituro in counterbalance, remedying the disadvantage he took cold after just 4 ‘. It also repeats just before the break, but this time the Var cancels for millimeter offside, and repeats again at 47 ‘, catching a Celta capable in the meantime to hit again on the counterattack on the Mallo-Cervi axis. The Blancos take over when they return to the field, starting to push at full strength and making the ball spin quickly at one, maximum two touches. However, it is always Benzema who decides. In fact, there is his hand in the goal with which Vinicius brings his own while maintaining the right coolness face to face with Dituro, because the assist that launches the Brazilian towards a boundless prairie comes from his invention. The Celta also tries to raise their heads, but slams against Courtois before capitulating again on a central percussion by Modric crowned by the winning tap-in of Camavinga, who scored just 7 ‘after the debut. Finally, to seal the great success, Benzema is back, cold and precise at 87 ‘from eleven meters to transform a penalty won by Vinicius.

Towards Inter

However, the three points do not hide the problems and critical points of Ancelotti’s team, which proved to be uncertain and shaky behind as against the Levante. The plot of Coudet all defense and counterattack works great throughout the first half, so much so that Celta manages to hurt practically every restart, especially using the right lane. It is from there that the guests strike twice, with Mina and Cervi in ​​the 4th and 24th minutes. It is also from there that the shivers for Courtois arrive later, called to remove the chestnuts from the fire halfway through the shot. The amnesia of Gutierrez on the left and the errors in sequence of the central couple Nacho-Militao can cost dearly against an Inter designed to sting in speed.

Injury alarm

—

Ancelotti’s season started in the name of the emergency and so it seems destined to continue. At least for now. At present, the Blancos coach has to deal with nine absentees due to injury, many of them with little prospect of recovering by return of post. Bale, Alaba and Jovic are the last of the inpatient list led by Kroos and Ceballos. For the Welshman and the Austrian, two of the happiest faces of this season start, the instrumental exams scheduled for Monday morning will be decisive, but pessimism reigns especially for Bale (suspected muscle problem). More regarding the former Bayern Munich, who simply has to dispose of a fatigue. The recoveries for Wednesday of the other illustrious victims are almost impossible.
