Celtic vs Real Madrid

The Champions League holders begin their defence with a trip to Scotland as Carlo Ancelotti and Ange Postecoglou meet for the first time.

[Celtic](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/celtic-fc) playing their normal game and refusing to change for anybody. The city that staged one of the old European Cup’s first truly mythical finals, when [Real Madrid](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/real-madrid) beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 at Hampden Park in 1960, now awaits the return of the 14-time champions with a rare excitement. [Champions League](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/champions-league) is supposed to be about. [Champions League](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/champions-league) begins this week with six British sides involved in the action. Starfelt went off with a knee problem early in the second half of Saturday’s derby. One of the Champions League’s first cities, rather appropriately, is this group stage’s emotional centre. [Liverpool](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/liverpool) and [Rangers](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/rangers-fc) – together in the same group – play on Wednesday, as do Tottenham. [Champions League](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/champions-league) group stage can’t come soon enough, because it is impossible not to feel that this season’s will be settled predictably quickly. It is an old point in itself now to say the competition used to be full of such challenges, but that makes it all the more relevant. Group C - featuring Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Internazionale and Robert Lewandowski’s return to the Allianz - is the only pool that could be described as an old-fashioned “group of death”. As for Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti’s side have started their LaLiga campaign in similarly imperious fashion with four wins from four, edging past Real Betis 2-1 at the weekend. Celtic couldn’t have had a better warm-up for this clash though than winning the Old Firm derby 4-0 at the weekend, so spirits will be high.

Celtic's long-awaited return to the Champions League group stages sees the Scottish champions paired with Real Madrid on opening night in Glasgow.

Nothing could be worse for Real Madrid and its fans than an injury to Karim Benzema. The season depends on the French striker, who has been a class above ...

Once again Madrid aren't the favourites to win the Champions League this season. His goal in the 77th minute could be a turning point in his campaign. Madrid's first goal in Glasgow was much like the one in Paris: Valverde and Vinicius. The Frenchman always plays, and there's cover should he miss a game here and there. In fact, Los Blancos didn't miss a beat with Eden Hazard on the field. The initial diagnosis is that Carlo Ancelotti managed to bring him off early enough to avoid injury against Celtic.

Chris Sutton has made a bold Celtic vs Real Madrid prediction, with both sides set to meet at Parkhead in the Champions League opener.

And their attack will have to find a way to get past stars the calibre of David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger, Dani Carvajal, Thibaut Courtois and others. [Chris Sutton](https://www.premierleague.com/players/390/Chris-Sutton/overview) though believes that Celtic are capable of pulling a rabbit out of their magic hat and scripting a famous win. If Postecoglou’s team gets it wrong, they could be open to being picked off at will. But then, it is a high risk, high reward situation, as that also leaves them in danger of being left open at the back and conceding a number of goals against the European champions. We all know what Carlo Ancelotti’s side will bring to the fold. But what will the Hoops look like?

They unsettled the reigning champions for long periods and could easily be ahead, with McGregor only denied an opener by the width of the post. Matt O'Riley switches play and picks out Josip Juranovic as he bears down on the box. It's harsh on Celtic, but Real are ruthless. And, just like that, the game is done and dusted. On target1 On
