The new stadium will be ready in time for the 2023-24 season. The Santiago Bernabeu renovation began in 2019 and was expected to be ready by this year. Needless to say, the Brazilian’s departure could be a blessing in disguise for Los Blancos. Casemiro’s departure from Real Madrid marks the end of an era for the club. Manchester United officially announced their acquisition of the 30-year-old on Friday. After opening the season with a 1-2 win over Almeria, Los Blancos will be hoping for a much smoother matchday experience.

Defending champions Real Madrid continued their title defence in style as they cruised to a comprehensive win over Celta Vigo 4-1 in La Liga's second week ...

In the absence of Toni Kroos and Casemiro, with the latter transferred to Machester United for £70 million, Modric remained phenomenal as he gave Madrid the lead with a signature curling shot just before halftime, and he later set up Vinicius Junior with a brilliant pass to make it 3-1 after the break. With goals from Luka Modric, Federico Valverde, and Vinicius Junior, Real Madrid earned its second victory of the season and signalled the intention to continue its domination over the title. Karim Benzema scored the opening goal of the game on a penalty before Iago Aspas equalized for the home side, but then Madrid upped the ante and drifted the game away from Celta Vigo’s reach.

Gabriel Jesus has gone on to shine for Arsenal since signing, with many people finally feeling he is getting the respect he deserves. This would prove to be much to the relief of Arsenal, who had the player as a number one target. [ Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano), Gabriel Jesus was wanted by Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid before committing his future to Arsenal this transfer window. Real Madrid had an interest in signing the Brazilian striker as the possible heir to Karim Benzema's throne. The European Champions wanted the player, but a deal was complicated due to the fact Gabriel Jesus possessed a non-EU passport. Things could have been different for the former Manchester City striker.

Aspas penalty cancelled out Benzema spot kick · Modric worldie restored Madrid's advantage · Vinicius Jr and Valverde wrapped up the win for Los Blancos.

With the strength of Barcelona and Atletico below them, they probably can't afford to drop the same amount of points as they did last season. [August 20, 2022] [pic.twitter.com/zi0zwFEfrp] [August 20, 2022] He did everything that we had come to expect of his predecessor: break up play, dribble past players and pass effectively. [pic.twitter.com/9flxwqA09n] [August 20, 2022] THE BIGGER PICTURE: Having battled with Celta for much of the first half, the second half just highlighted how good Carlo Ancelotti's look again this season.

LaLiga champions Real Madrid maintained their winning start to the season with a 5-1 thrashing of Celta Vigo on Saturday evening.

Eden Hazard was also given a run in the last ten minutes in place of Vinicius Junior and the Belgian had a chance to add a fifth goal in the dying minutes from the penalty spot after Benzema was brought down in the box by Hugo Mallo but his spot-kick was saved by Marchesin, as the encounter ended 4-1 to Ancelotti's charges. Madrid waited for the right moments to attack early in the second stanza and opened a two-goal cushion four minutes before the hour-mark from a counter-attack after Vinicius Junior went clear on goal from Modric's pass, rounded Marchesin and scored into an empty net. Madrid were on the front foot in the early stages and were awarded a penalty on 12 minutes by a Video Assistant Referee Referee (VAR) for a handball by Renato Tapia in the box.

Why have Real Madrid not been able to bring through players from their academy, despite them going on to become huge success stories elsewhere?

Another point of view is that luck plays a significant role in this situation. Even if they wanted to, little or nothing could be done in terms of bringing in players because you simply cannot be patient at a club of this calibre that seeks victory at every turn. It is no surprise that La Fabrica is synonymous with the word ‘quality’, and this level has been upheld throughout. You may be one of the best in the world and yet struggle at Real Madrid because one bad day could lose you your place in the team. La Fabrica, which literally translates to “The Factory,” has lived true to its name. When it comes to creating talent every season continuously, the setup boasts of unmatchable excellence.

Luka Modric inspired Real Madrid to beat Celta Vigo away from home in matchday 2 of the new LaLiga season.

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. Manchester United are hoping he can have an immediate impact on Erik ten Hag’s side, who currently sit bottom of the Premier League. The Frenchman commits a foul on Paciencia and it's an early free for the home side. It lands to Cervi on the edge of the box but he shoots wide from about 25 yards. Modric's corner comes in and the Madrid players are asking for a handball. Madrid have a corner on the right after some good play by Vinicius. Camavinga comes in with a great tackle on the edge of the box. Celta switch the play really well. It's his first goal of the new season. The cross is blocked and it flies out for a corner. He sends it out to Vinicius, who in turn passes right, where Valverde comes flying in and smashes it into the far corner. Camavinga sends in a curling cross from the left.
