Genuine Madrid recuperated from its very own shame (4-0 home misfortune to rivals Barcelona) with a 2-1 street succeed at Celta Vigo on Saturday. Yet, that triumph was defaced by debate after the ref granted Los Merengues three extra shots. The three focuses permitted Real Madrid to keep an important lead in La Liga over rivals Barcelona.
Chief Carlo Ancelotti missed the match against Celta Vigo because of COVID-19, however he was cleared to venture out to London subsequent to testing negative on Tuesday. He recently drove Chelsea to a Premier League title and FA Cup prize during his two seasons in control from 2009-2011.
