Celta Vigo's centenary campaign has taken an intriguing turn with the addition of esteemed manager Rafa Benítez during the summer. His task is to propel the team back into the top half of La Liga, an ambition that got a boost from the substantial reported fee of nearly €35 million from the sale of skilled midfielder Gabri Veiga, a player who played a direct role in 15 out of their 43 goals in the previous La Liga season. This transfer windfall could provide Benítez with ample resources to enhance his squad.

In the absence of Veiga, Celta managed to settle the score against a previous loss to Osasuna by securing a draw against Real Sociedad. Benítez evaluated the outcome as equitable, with each team exerting dominance in one half of the match. He sees this draw as a foundation to build upon, especially with the financial boost resulting from Veiga's departure. Having taken charge of a team that concluded the 2022/23 season with a triumphant victory against champions Barcelona (2-1), Benítez possesses the talent necessary to pose challenges for his former employers, Real Madrid.

Benítez and Real Madrid's manager, Carlo Ancelotti, who previously led Liverpool and AC Milan to Champions League final victories in the 2000s, are set to clash for the first time in 13 years. As they continue to play their initial three LaLiga fixtures away from home, awaiting the completion of Santiago Bernabéu's renovation for a fan-ready environment in September, Madrid led the standings with consecutive victories in the first two rounds - triumphing over Athletic Club (2-0) and Almería (3-1).

One of the most gratifying aspects of these early LaLiga wins for Ancelotti is the team's resilient defense, notably after he criticized their defending following pre-season losses to Barcelona (3-0) and Juventus (3-1). This positive trajectory suggests a potential reiteration of their emphatic victory over Celta from the previous season (4-1), a performance that was part of their remarkable record of 16 victories in 18 recent LL encounters with the Galician club.

Real Madrid must sober up and start earning those valuable points as soon as possible. The title race in Spain is always quite tight and they won't allow any points to be dropped this early on.

随着备受尊敬的主教练拉法Benítez的加盟，维戈塞尔塔的百年征程迎来了一个有趣的转折。他的任务是推动球队重返西甲上半区，这一雄心壮志从出售技术娴熟的中场球员加布里·维加(Gabri Veiga)获得的近3500万欧元的巨额转会费中得到了提振。在上个西甲赛季中，维加直接贡献了球队43个进球中的15个。这笔意外之财可以为Benítez提供充足的资源来加强他的阵容。

在维加缺阵的情况下，塞尔塔与皇家社会战平，扳平了之前输给奥萨苏纳的比分。Benítez评价结果是公平的，每支球队在比赛的一半发挥优势。他认为这一吸引力是一个基础，尤其是在维加离开后带来的财务增长。在2022/23赛季以2比1战胜卫冕冠军巴塞罗那队的比赛中，Benítez拥有挑战老东家皇马所需的天赋。

Benítez和皇马主帅安切洛蒂(Carlo Ancelotti)将在13年来首次交锋。安切洛蒂曾在2000年代带领利物浦和AC米兰夺得欧冠决赛冠军。在接下来的三场西甲比赛中，他们将继续在客场进行，等待圣地亚哥伯纳姆萨乌球场的改造工作在9月份完成，为球迷提供一个舒适的环境。马德里在前两轮比赛中连续获胜，分别以2比0和3比1战胜竞技俱乐部和Almería，领跑积分榜。

对于安切洛蒂来说，在西甲联赛的早期胜利中，最令人满意的一点是球队的防守，特别是在季前赛输给巴塞罗那(3-0)和尤文图斯(3-1)之后，他批评了球队的防守。这一积极的发展轨迹表明，他们有可能重演上个赛季(4-1)对塞尔塔的大胜，这是他们最近18次与加利西亚俱乐部交锋中取得16场胜利的惊人记录的一部分。

皇马必须清醒过来，尽快开始赢得那些有价值的积分。西班牙的冠军争夺战总是非常激烈，他们不会允许在这么早的时候丢分。
