Lots of nice triangles in that Celta midfield. Cervi, Beltran are neat players

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Is Rudiger’s absence just tactical? Noticed he looked a bit shaky last week.
If you keep going like this I'll bombard you with photoshops of Maguire in Chelsea's jersey!You mean the guy that chose early retirement?
Celta the better team so far
Okay okay. Calm down please. Apologies. Please forgive my transgression.
They have been very good. Real look a bit sluggish and slow.
What was that from valverde 
Magic
Modric 
Modric
Modric with a banger, what a player.
Damn Modric.
Unstoppable that. Modric is timeless.
Too soon to say, this is just the third official game of the season. I think Ancelotti will rotate a lot and will use him in future games.
Madrid were so uninspiring and yet they're one goal ahead.
They'll be this year's champions again.
They'll be this year's champions again.
Damn, it has been like 45 minutes
Tchouameni looks better than he did last week, some great interceptions and he reads the game well defensively. Good on the ball too.
Cama started out weak but picked it up later on.
I do feel like we can mature this midfield and have something special. Will take some time but hopeful for now.
I'm surprised how Tapia (DM, Celta) hasn't been picked up by a better team. He was lovely last season and has started off well.
It's actually amazing for the french team to have Camavinga and Tchouameni playing together every week. It would have been even better with Mbappe in the mix.
It definitely has potential, not cl level but good enough to win you the league.Damn, it has been like 45 minutes

Hugo Mallo fouling Vinicius non-stop...
Early days still but Tchouameni looks very focused so far.
Rudiger is now warming up.
Real Madrid so effective again
Once through, there was no stopping him
Vinicius is a rock star.
Vini is fecking rapid, bloody hell. What a pass by Modric too.
Will be interesting to see him in a back 4.
Yep, he's been real solid. Not bad for a player his age in only his third official match at Madrid.
No wonder they felt they could get away with selling Casemiro.
Brutally effective
Madrid are really sleep walking the league, that benzema slip
So deadly on the counter.
So deadly on the counter.
1-4 Valverde
Pace and Athleticism of Real is too much for poor Celta who played well in the first
The next Mbappe?
Modric just gets better and better. Some of his passing is incredible.
Rudiger on, Carvajal off. So probably RB for Rudiger.
He's timeless. At what point does he slow down?
Mendy, Tchouamení, Camavinga and Militao can just recover so quickly even if they make a bad coverage. Frustrating for Celta players
Celta fans applaud Modric.
Fair play.
Fair play.
Lucas Vazquez is now RB and Rudiger CB
Rudiger gets bored, starts attack and Madrid get a penno.
