Real Madrid made a winning start to the 2019/20 season in La Liga by beating Celta Vigo 3-1 at Balaidos on Saturday, despite Luka Modric being sent off 11 minutes into the second half after a VAR check.
Modric was shown a red card after a review was needed of his tackle on Denis Suarez. Real were already 1-0 up thanks to Karim Benzema, who had been teed up by Gareth Bale.
Toni Kroos and Lucas Vazquez also got on the scoresheet for Los Blancos, who impressed without big-money summer imports, including former Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, who missed out through injury.
