Vinicius Junior and Luka Modric scored the goals for Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Celtic at Celtic Park in the first matchday of the Champions League.

Vinicius Junior and Luka Modric scored the goals for Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Celtic at Celtic Park in the first matchday of the Champions League.

Without Karim Benzema (injured at 30 minutes), Vinicius Junior and Luka Modric, two references of the team, showed up in the Real Madrid vs. Celtic match of the first date of group F. After managing the game and also suffering, Carlo Ancelotti's team needed four minutes to reach 2-0 at Celtic Park stadium.

In fact, the visit of the 'Blancos' to Scotland was not easy. The home team, with a lot of enthusiasm, managed to reach Thibaut Courtois' goal with danger. However, experience, teamwork, and individual skills tilted the balance in favor of the current Champions League winner (they already have 14 with the one won a few months ago).

The first goal of the match came from the feet of Courtois. The Real Madrid goalkeeper relied on Antonio Rudiger, who left the pressure with a pass close to the line to Dani Carvajal. Similarly, the right-back quickly connected with Luka Modric. Immediately, the Croatian played a long ball for Federico Valverde to impact it with a backheel.

That intervention from the Uruguayan was controlled with the chest by Eden Hazard, but before the ball loses height, 'Fede' joined the action again. The Uruguayan took advantage of the freedom on the sideline to reach the height of the area and send a cross pass. At the far post, Vinicius Junior touched the ball and sent it to the opposite post of Joe Hart to make it 1-0.

The goal scored by the Brazilian was well received by the Madridistas, who had better control of the field. In fact, the Madrid players took advantage of those minutes to hit a baffled Celtic again. Thus, Aurélien Tchouaméni won a split in the center of the field and the rebound went to the 'Duke' Hazard.

The Belgian striker, reminiscent of his best moments with Chelsea, escaped from the opponents' marking with ease. When number 7 approached the penalty box, he passed the ball to Modric. The Madrid's number 10 turned to let an opponent pass, they tried to take the ball away from him, but he decided to shoot with the outside edge to convert 2-0.
