The slap in the face of the Spanish Super Cup final is probably not yet digested, but Real Madrid must already return there. Just four days after their heavy defeat against their rivals FC Barcelona (2-5), the Madrilenians are playing their round of 16 of the Spanish Cup against Celta Vigo this Thursday. Winners on the lawn of the modest club Deportiva Minera in the previous round, the Merengues now challenge another elite club, La Liga.
Celta Vigo, for its part, has already completed three rounds. After big victories against US San Pedro (6th division) and Salamanca (4th division), the Celtics experienced more difficulties on the pitch of Racing Santander (2-3). It is now a giant of Europe who stands against them, with Kylian Mbappé in increasingly good shape. Author of a solid performance in the Spanish Super Cup, despite the debacle of his team, the Frenchman could be of great importance this Thursday.
This round of 16 of the Spanish Cup between Real Madrid and Celta Vigo can be followed from 9:30 p.m. this Thursday on La Chaîne L’Équipe.
