That win takes Real Madrid to the top of La Liga, although Atletico Madrid still have three games in hand over their city rivals. This was a very good performance from the reigning champions. Asensio and Vazquez were the key men for Real Madrid. Zidane will be pleased with that.

Mariano comes on for the final minutes of this match. The TV camera shows Jovic sat in the stands. He won't get a minute of action. Surely his Real Madrid career is as good as over?

Over the bar! That was a good opportunity for Benzema to add his name to the score sheet, he opened up the space for the shot, but the Frenchman put his strike over the crossbar.

Hazard is close to regaining full fitness. This has been the story of the Belgian’s Real Madrid career to date. He is close to being labelled a flop. Hazard has played only a handful of games this season. These minutes are precious for him.
83'
There are still questions over this Real Madrid team’s lack of identity or overarching ideology, but Zidane knows how to get the best out of this group of players. He squeezes everything out of them.

Modric and Ramos have been key to Real Madrid’s recent recovery. Varane is lost without Ramos alongside him and Modric is still the Spanish champions’ primary creator through the middle.
80'
Mina shoots wide! That's Celta Vigo's best chance of the second half. Modric was beaten to a ball in the centre of the pitch, Mina spun on the edge of the box, but he struck wide.
79'
There is still a lot of talk about Modric and Ramos’ future at Real Madrid. Both players are out of contract at the end of the 2020/21 season, but they are still key figures for Zidane.

That was a very impressive performance from Asensio. He created the opening goal for Vazquez and then scored the second himself. The 24-year-old has found some good form!

One of the most baffling things about Jovic’s failure to settle in at Real Madrid is that Zidane could really use another striker to ease some of the burden on Benzema.

Jovic is another player who could feasibly be on his way out of Real Madrid in the January transfer window. It just hasn’t happened for the Serbian centre forward in the Spanish capital.
