It's Celta vs Real Madrid!
Madrid are playing in their black kit tonight. The last time Madrid donned their all-black strip was in last season’s Clásico at the Bernabéu - it didn’t bring them much luck, they lost the game 0-4. On that occasion, the team were playing in black to celebrate the club’s 120 years.
The players are in the tunnel!
Real Madrid have the squad depth
Real Madrid having signed Aurelien Tchouaméni from Monaco and with the versatility of Toni Kroos, Carlo Ancelotti is confident that he has the options in midfield to fill the gap left by Casemiro.
"Casemiro has been a key player, who fits perfectly with Kroos and Luka Modric. It's been an incredible combination for all the success we've had in the last few years," Ancelotti said in a news conference.
"Within the squad we have a lot of good replacements. Tchouameni was signed in order to play in this position. We have some other options like Kroos who can play in this position, as he did in the second year I was here as a coach back in 2014 when we won 22 games in a row.
"Replacing Casemiro with another player with his same skills is difficult but we have other players ready to replace him with other characteristics. They can play in this position, but not with the same skills.
"We need to keep in mind that a player like Casemiro, defensively, is more similar to Tchouameni than Kroos, but Toni has some different characteristics and can also play in that position."
Kick-off at Balaídos is just 15 minutes away!
We're getting underway at 10 pm local time!
Casemiro's record at Real Madrid
336 matches, 31 goals, 29 assists & 5 Champions League titles!
Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid
The stage is set. Balaídos will welcome the teams out very shortly!
Aspas and Paciência in attack
Celta Vigo will start with club legend Iago Aspas and new signing Gonçalo Paciência up front tonight.
The 28-year-old joined from Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.
Paciência has played for a number of Portuguese clubs including Porto, with a short spell at Greek club Olympiacos in between.
His last four years were spent in Germany, between Schalke 04 and Eintracht Frankfurt.
On the opening day of the season, he netted in the club's 2-2 draw with Espanyol.

Manchester United announce the signing of Casemiro from Real Madrid
So no Casemiro in Madrid's squad tonight for obvious reasons. Manchester United are hoping he can have an immediate impact on Erik ten Hag’s side, who currently sit bottom of the Premier League. With his departure, Madrid’s famous midfield trio of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and himself has been broken, the Bermuda Triangle as Carlo Ancelotti called it on preseason.

Casemiro leaves Real Madrid; Kroos out
Casemiro’s departure to Manchester United was the talk of Friday morning at Valdebebas. “He wants a new challenge,” explained Carlo Ancelotti in his pre-match press conference. Casemiro did most of the training session with the rest of his team-mates but left before the end.
Casemiro’s departure was not the only thing concerning Ancelotti. The Italian has found himself without Toni Kroos, who is suffering from a bout of flu. The German is also out for the trip to Balaídos and will force his manager to look for other solutions in midfield. Rodrygo was also absent from training after failing to recover in time.
