Match Facts:

Real Madrid (2nd, 3 pts):

- Los Blancos have won eight of their last nine LaLiga Santander encounters against Celta. The only exception came at Balaidos in May 2014, when they were beaten 2-0.

Zidane: "It's the first home game and we want to play as well as we can."

- The visitors will be wary of the threat posed by Gareth Bale. The Welshman is in flying form, grabbed Madrid's last goal against Celta and is on the verge of a milestone: the next time he gets on the scoresheet, he will bring up his half-century in LaLiga.

Celta (16th, 0 pts):

- Since 1992/93, the Galicians have only lost once on Matchday 2 in LaLiga Santander action. That was a 2-1 defeat to Real Sociedad back in 2012.

- Eduardo Berizzo's charges fell to CD Leganes at Balaidos in their opener and so head to the Bernabeu, ever a tough place to play, eyeing a first point – or even victory – of the season.
