and the Champions League semi-finals.
Real Madrid who kick off on a roll in La Liga at the moment that's some way behind Barcelona playing against the Spanish cousins of
Manchester City or as it said at the Spanish press today a
subsidiary club one of 11 part of the city group
Modric is straight on to the attack
They're trying to lay down a mark in the opening minute of the game here is Luka Modric across the face of the goal and a
Fantastical little flick from a great Rodrigo playing the part of Benzema beyond the back line
He's just on side as well lovely ball by Vinny Giugni with the outside of his boot first crosses blocked here when it comes back
He picks out the perp as he had a way from his Gallagher as Vinny Giugni up cross
teasing firing in blocked by a Romeo
Valverde goalkeeper a little bit uncertain of that one just helping it is on its way. Well, we know he's got a good striker
It's taken them a while, but they're finding the feet now as you're rolling up.
Much better, teased in. Oh yes, first chance, first goal.
Castellanos!
Here's the build-up play, little ball played towards the byline
Just here, he's onside as well
There's the good run, there's the set-up play and there's the header
He just instinctively takes up a position, peels away from the defenders
And then an inch perfect header
The Argentinian striker
Don't make him angry
21 goals, 16 assists in all competitions this season, Vinny Junior
Just before that run, Ancelotti called him over and tried to calm him down
Had a little word with him
Castellanos, little nudge, buys himself some space, gets past him
Oh brilliant, absolutely brilliant solo goal!
Castellanos at the double!
Well nothing was on when he received the ball
and there are not too many that out-muscle Militao
and then slants it superbly
Militao can't get to the ball
Here's the throw-on, ball just hooked into the space
He's onside, you see he's just in his own half
Sloppy from Militao to allow that ball to be played in there
It's not this touch, it's this one here that just takes it to the side on his right foot
and a very good finish
Mind you, Rudiger should be round on the cover as well
He's not giving his other centre-half too much help
His recovery run wasn't quite good enough
but this is brilliant from Castellanos, that's the touch!
Asensio, Modric, Vini Jr, Luka Modric can't see any daylight in there
Valverde, arguably the best chance yet for Real Madrid
Taking off the head of Rodrigo
Call ahead of defending for Wampi
This is Nacho, Modric, corner, rattles the heels of Hamel
These are household names
Losing 2-0 against Little Girona
Valverde, Asensio, Nacho's up there, free head up
Vini Jr playing to the crowd
He's not going to silence there but he's slightly changed the course of the game
Asensio, look how many players they've got in the box
and he's onside as well
No doubt about that, Rodrigo was offside
but not Vini Jr
and it's a good header, down low
Kazaniga tried to stay big
Vini Jr, it's always dangerous to try and go in at that near post
It can easily just slide off your forward
but he's put it away nicely
now is getting into an argument off the ball which the referee is watching like a hawk.
Kuta, Castellanos, first shot he's had that hasn't resulted in a goal
This is Kuta, part of a hat he's got two attackers to deal with
All of the best chances in this game are falling away
Alvare to Modric, to Vinny Junior
Now that is a foul and that is payback as well
And that is certainly going to be a yellow card for the foolishness of Arnaut
Vinny Junior is in the mood, has been provoked by one or two of the players
The supporters behind the goal as well, but he's answered them in the best possible way
Will they go for Vinny Junior?
And he's either scored or created a goal in seven games in a row
One or two of the defenders have to be very careful now with Vinicius Junior
When he gets the ball because they're on a yellow card
This is a great dart down the right from Kuta, gets around Nacho
Step over, he's got his hat trick!
Hasn't taken long, has it?
Castellanos!
The moment of his footballing life
A hat-trick against Real Madrid
Really good wing play
See how he attacks the inside of Nacho
Then knocks it down the outside
Again, not great defending
Eder Militao and Carvajal really need to get much, much closer to the striker
Valverde starts to go back and he almost leaves the ball
Eventually Carvajal can't quite get there
Can't get anywhere near Castellanos
And Lunning can't get near them
60 feet of the season in La Liga
Oh my goodness! It's him again! Castellanos strikes his name into La Liga folklore!
Just a short corner, ball goes out, deep, he just makes an easy run into the box, Eder Militao just doesn't see it, doesn't attack the ball
and it's an easy head up, doesn't even have to jump, he just gets himself slightly off the ground but I don't think he needed to
it's really poor defending once again from Eder Militao, Caval, doesn't give him any information either
They're all sharing the glory, they're sharing the misery at the moment, the one thing that Real Madrid have to do is just temper their discipline, don't do anything silly
That is Militao's...
This on the back of course of Real Madrid, keeping shutouts against Cadiz and Celta, the ball dips over the bar but no real concern
Decent effort from Rodrigo
Martin, I don't think this stands his ground, Ivan Martin looking for Stoane, oh that was a big chance for the sub, Valery
The referee is going to be lenient on this occasion
lesser spotted Mariano Diaz. Lucas Vazquez in from the fringes as well. In the early
80s and the late 90s down in the fourth tier of Spanish football this is up
there as the greatest night. Head down, shaking off defenders, runs into trouble
notably the excellent Wampy. Now Vinicius Junior tiptoes along there and
Vazquez gets a souvenir. Real Madrid have five and a half minutes to
completely save face.
Juliano starts it off, trying to drive into the box, runs into the challenge, but Vini Junior follows it up, he goes past
Santibuena, and then it's a good cut back. Lucas Vasquez in the right position, not really playing it right back
He's almost playing as a right wing back at times
He's himself in that forward area and with his left foot just sweeps it in. These players these days
Shall I say, players are measured in goals and assists
