Real Madrid are in full swing at the Santiago Bernabeu as they lead by five goals against Celtic in their final group game of the Champions League. Los Blancos knew that a win would secure top spot in the group and they have left nothing to chance.
The first half was dedicated to penalties, as Luka Modric and Rodrygo Goes converted two, while Josip Juranovic missed one for Celtic.
Early in the second half Marco Asensio got his third goal of the season with a beautiful finish, coming onto a ball from Dani Carvajal.
Vinicius Junior’s finish was perhaps not quite as pleasing but it was still aesthetic.

Fede Valverde is Real Madrid’s top scorer this season and naturally he got in on the action with a lovely technical finish into the corner.
Fede Valverde cannot stop scoring!

It may well be Real Madrid’s best attacking performance of the season – in terms of goals, they have scored more than in any other game this season.
Vini has had a pretty tame game for his standards, Asensio is having probably his best game Ive seen so far.
