Karim Benzema scored a brace during Real Madrid's controversial 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo in La Liga at Estadio de Balaidos.

Real Madrid are keeping an eye on N'Golo Kante's contract situation ahead of a potential summer swoop, according to reports.

23-year-old West Ham midfielder and former Chelsea prodigy Declan Rice has also been linked with a return to west London for a number of years now and it appears as though he too is eager for the move. Kante's contract is set to expire at the end of next season and he may feel as though his time at Stamford Bridge is nearing its end as the European champions have been linked with a number of younger midfielders over the course of the season. Kante is now 31-years-old and his time at Chelsea may be reaching its end with the Blues interested in a number of young midfielders.

Real Madrid is coming off a 4-0 pounding to rival Barcelona, but they can shake it off and stay atop the standings with a win over Celta Vigo.

With nine matches left, Marseille has just a one-point lead over third-placed Rennes and has no room for error in its bid to seal direct qualification for next season’s Champions League. Saint-Etienne — which has 10 league titles to its name, one more than Marseille — dominated French soccer during the 1960s and ‘70s, with the Mediterranean club becoming one of its strongest rivals after regaining a spot in the top-flight in 1966.Lazio will be looking to boost its bid for a European spot when it hosts Sassuolo in Serie A. Seventh-placed Lazio is two points behind Atalanta and Roma, which it lost to in the capital derby before the international break. The country’s two most popular clubs face off at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard with Saint-Etienne looking for points at home in its fight against relegation and Marseille looking for a victory that would cement its second place behind leader Paris Saint-Germain. Following a pitiful start to the season, Saint-Etienne has been inspired by the hiring in December of coach Pascal Dupraz. It has lost just one of its past eight matches to climb into the relegation playoff place. At the other end of the table, Spezia hosts Venezia in a relegation battle. Some of the blame for Italy’s failure to make the World Cup has been placed on forward Ciro Immobile but the Lazio captain has four goals in his past six matches for his club. Both are in action against potential Champions League qualifiers: Bayern visits fifth-placed Freiburg before Dortmund hosts fourth-placed Leipzig. If Freiburg does Dortmund a favor in the early game, Marco Rose’s team can return it later as both Freiburg and Leipzig are level on points.

League top scorer Karim Benzema missed the match against Barcelona with a left-leg injury. Madrid lead Sevilla by nine points. | Football News.

Perhaps the standout performance for this magnificent duo came in El Derbi de Barcelona, against FC Barcelona. Xavi Hernández’s team went ahead early on, however, Darder scored an equalizer with a shot from outside of the area, with R. D.T. assisting him. Meanwhile, Darder has scored three goals and played seven assists so far this season, making him one of the leading assist providers in the division despite the fact he plays further away from goal. They have now played 77 matches together since R. D.T. arrived at the RCDE Stadium in January of 2020, winning 35 of these outings. When the game was deadlocked, Darder produced a moment of magic to assist his teammate R. D.T. The striker from Madrid, like all good penalty box predators, made the most of the opportunity and converted past Sergio Rico. It was yet another goal crafted by this strike partnership, one which earned a 1-0 victory for Los Pericos. R. D.T. now has 14 goals to his name in total, with this tally placing him as the leading Spanish scorer in LaLiga and the second overall, only behind Benzema. Now they seek a win to maintain its comfortable lead of La Liga before it prepares for next week's Champions League clash at Chelsea.

Terrier, who scored his 17th goal of the season, nearly secured victory for Rennes in the closing stages but his effort was saved by Nice goalkeeper Walter Benítez. “I know who is to blame but I will not name them and do you this favour. “The fourth official showed the wrong number,” Nagelsmann told a news conference. Madrid opened a 12-point gap over Sevilla and a 15-point advantage over Barcelona and Atlético Madrid Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, missed the match after testing positive for Covid this week. The third penalty that set up Benzema’s 70th-minute winner came after a questionable foul when Ferland Mendy stumbled over the leg of Kevin Vázquez. Celta also had a goal waived off in the first half after a video review. I think it was a foul in our favour.”

An inspired Thibaut Courtois in net and goals from Karim Benzema were enough to secure the three points.

Poor game from the Brazilian. A game that failed to capture the imagination, but ultimately ended in a Real Madrid win. Brais Mendez and Kelvin Vazquez did no threaten down Madrid’s left. Courtois has become a pillar of this team. The Belgian can be relied upon for at least one-goal-denying save per game. There was a disallowed goal for Celta and three penalty kicks awarded to Real Madrid — all four were justifiable calls— which influenced the final result.
