Real Madrid vs Celtic

Minute-by-minute report: The hosts will be looking to seal top spot against a Celtic side hoping to restore some pride. Join Scott Murray.

If they fail to win, and Leipzig win at Shakhtar Donetsk, the Germans will leapfrog them into first place. Éder Militão and Marco Asensio replace Eduardo Camavinga and Antonio Rüdiger, who drop to the bench. There’ll be a few quid in it if they win, but let’s not reduce it to that. Real Madrid make two changes to the XI that started the 1-1 home draw with Girona. Carl Starfelt, Liel Abada, Daizen Maeda and Josip Juranović are in; Sead Hakšabanović, James Forrest and Anthony Ralston drop to the bench, while Cameron Carter-Vickers misses out through injury. There’s plenty still to be decided in Group F.

Courtois; Carvajal, Militão, Alaba, Mendy; Valverde, Modrić, Kroos; Asensio, Rodrygo, Vini. Benzema back on the bench after injury.

Well, Real Madrid are already through to the round of 16 but will want to seal top spot. Nothing for the Scots to play for tonight so it’s all on Real Madrid. Top of LaLiga, through to the Champions League round of 16. It looked as if Real Madrid were going to run away with this group after starting with three wins out of three, including a 3-0 victory in Glasgow in matchday 1. Looking good for the Germans so far, and that means Madrid have to win to finish top. This might be a long night for the Scots... Just to go back to the penalty, the ball definitely hit O'Riley's hand and it was definitely a raised hand. What some of you might not remember is that Celtic have also won Europe's premier cup competition, back in the days when (only) the champions of pretty much any country could win it. Could this be a turning point in his Real Madrid career? Vini again trying the ridiculous, a rainbow flick to get past Juranovic in the box. No VAR check for the penalty but it didn't matter in the end, as Courtois dives to his right to keep out Juranović. A decent enough response from Celtic, who win the ball high up the pitch.

People close to me told me I had to make the most of my shot, and that's what I've been doing. They're a lot of games, it's tiring, and then we have the World Cup, it's a tough calendar but we have to keep going." "We've played a lot of games over the last month and we have two more games to go. My team mates always say to me that one day I'll break the ball!" It was a good game," added Valverde, who has now scored four goals in his last five games. "We took our opportunities, and we scored the goals we had to score.

We lost 5-1 against a fantastic team but the players never stopped trying to play. I'm certainly not disheartened, I really believe we're on the right track." I've got no doubt they'll be better footballers quite a few of our guys, and we will learn from it but only if we qualify again. "I never fear the worst because we're still trying to play. We were focused and concentrated. But I guess that's been the story of our campaign.
