Luka Modric, Daniel Carvajal and Aurelien Tchouameni all made positive starts as they passed the ball with intent. However, Celtic were no pushovers as their confidence grew with every passing minute. They had four shots, with two on target compared to one shot off target by Madrid halfway into the first period. Celtic Park was as loud as ever as their team surprisingly created some of the best openings in the first period. Thibaut Courtois looked up to the task in goal as he did well to make some good stops early in the game. David Alaba and Eder Militao made a nervy start, but were covered well by their midfielders and goalkeeper. Josip Juranovic and Callum McGregor made good starts for Celtic as they played fearless football in the first period. Jota also made a good start, nearly providing an assist for a goal by Matt O'Riley. Vinicius Junior, too, came close but was denied by Joe Hart. Celtic and Real Madrid went into the break deadlocked at 0-0. Real Madrid C.F. @realmadriden HT: @CelticFC 0-0 @realmadriden

After a slow start in front of goal, he was eager for his side to break the deadlock. However, Celtic, too, made a change and brought pacey striker Daizen Maeda on. He had a brilliant chance to snatch the lead early on but failed to do so. Real Madrid failed to create big chances but burst into life around the hour mark. They took the lead via Vinicius following a brilliant move that culminated in Federico Valverde playing the final ball. Los Blancos doubled their lead just four minutes later as Eden Hazard provided an assist for Luka Modric to score from. They added a third goal after 77 minutes which all but killed the game and secured the win. Daniel Carvajal played the ball across goal for Eden Hazard to tap-in to make it 3-0. Real Madrid held on as they began their defense of the UCL title with a win. That said, let's take a look at the five major talking points from the game.
