“The team showed a lot of attacking quality, with [Karim] Benzema, Vinicius [Junior], [Eden] Hazard," Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said after their win over Celta. 
 
"And Miguel Gutiérrez, who played in an excellent cross for Karim’s goal. Where we weren’t as strong was in our defensive organisation and we have to improve in that area. 
 
"That made things tough for us and then the fans really helped us out. The players didn’t let their confidence be knocked and we delivered a great second-half performance, but we gifted them too much at the start of the game."
 
The last meeting between Valencia and Madrid in a league match was on 14 February 2021.
 
Madrid secured a comfortable 2-0 win over Valencia in a match that was played at Valencia's home ground, Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano.
