There is a Real Madrid - Valencia game tonight. There are some missing players due to various reasons at Real Madrid side. Kepa and Tchouameni are injured now. Lunin will be in the starting eleven in Kepa's place. I hope to see some decent effort from him. Rudiger will also not be able to play due to being suspended from yellow cards.
But this information doesn't change the fact that Real Madrid are still a huge favourite here. It is time to make up for the Vallecano draw as well. I think we will see Bellingham scoring this time. Hopefully Vinicius Junior can also make some contribution with assist or goal.
Real Madrid is quite disadvantaged by the absence of several of these players and especially Lunin, who performed brilliantly when defending Real Madrid in the Champions League a few days ago, I think it was the right decision for Ancelotti to maximize his return through this match. Currently there is only Lunin left in the goalkeeper position considering that Courtois and Kepa are injured. I think it's time for Lunin to prove that he also deserves playing minutes and Ancelotti has to take that into consideration.
Although some of Real Madrid's players will miss this match, I see that there are still players who can cover the missing players. I don't mean to underestimate Valencia, but they don't have the same strength as Real Madrid, even though some of the players who will play are reserves.
Their chances are quite open to be able to secure 3 points, after in the previous match they could only draw. But they must still put high vigilance to Balencia, because they are also in good condition.
today the home team made good use of their advantage, Bilbao won the match with a score of 4:3, even though Celta fought hard in the match and tried to hold Bilbao to a draw but in the end Alex Berenguer scored a goal in the last minute and became the winner for Bilbao with his penalty kick, Even though they can get full points, the position of the points table has not changed, but Bilbao is approaching Atletico Madrid with a small margin, so I think if Bilbao is able to perform consistently, Bilbao will be able to take over Atletico Madrid's position in 4th place.
Celta certainly felt very disappointed with Bilbao's fourth goal which made the opportunity to get 1 point disappear, it was only one point but for a team like Celta which is struggling to get out of the relegation zone, it would certainly be very valuable.
This victory gives Bilbao the opportunity to become stronger in the European zone because the point difference between Sociedad and Valencia is getting bigger, although there is a possibility that this will change in the next matches.
It was a great match, they traded goals until finally the game killer goal came in the last minute of the match and Atletico Bilbao successfully secured 3 points at their base. Despite losing, I really appreciate the game shown by Celta Vigo, they really played aggressively and gave a very fierce resistance, although in the end they had to recognize the superiority of the host.
Honestly, in this match they did not show that they were 1 of the 3 teams in the relegation zone.
