Watch RC Celta De Vigo Vs. Real Madrid Stream Live: Start Time, Preview, Spanish La Liga Round 1 Live Online

By the Spanish giant’s usual standards, last season was a disaster for Real Madrid. A sluggish start led to not one but two mid-season coaching changes, as Newsweek reported. But even the return of Zinedine Zidane in March of this year could not lift Los Blancos higher than third on the La Liga table. The defending European Champions also suffered an embarrassing Round of 16 ouster from the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Dutch club Ajax. Now, after struggling through an uninspiring preseason, Zidane will be under pressure to take a quick three points when Real Madrid faces nearly-relegated club RC Celta de Vigo in a match that will stream live on the La Liga opening weekend.

Alarm bells have been going off among Real Madrid supporters, with the club suffering a humbling 7-3 preseason defeat to crosstown rivals Atlético Madrid in one preseason game, while also losing to Tottenham Hotspur and AS Roma, and struggling to a penalty kick win over Arsenal, per Soccerway, in the club’s preseason campaign.

But facing a club that finished just four points clear of the drop zone, Real have what over the past two seasons has been a rare opportunity — to top the La Liga table, at least briefly, after defending champions Barcelona dropped a stunning 1-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao on Friday, as ESPN reported.

For Celta, star striker Santi Mina will miss the match with an injury, per Fansided, while on Real’s side, summer signing Eden Hazard will also sit out with a hamstring pull, and defender Dani Carvajal will sit out due to yellow card accumulation holdover from last season. Star Welsh fullback Gareth Bale is expected to find a place in the side, despite his ongoing feud with Zidane.
