VIGO: Real Madrid got off to a flying start in La Liga by beating Celta Vigo 3-1 away from home on Saturday with the help of a magnificent long-range strike from Toni Kroos, although they had Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric sent off for a straight red card.
The hosts could not make the most of the extra man as German midfielder Kroos doubled Madrid's lead five minutes later with an unstoppable strike, while substitute Lucas Vazquez added a third in the 80th after a pass from Benzema. The performance was a defiant response from Zinedine Zidane's side after a nightmarish last campaign on all fronts in which the club went through three managers, as well as a poor pre-season campaign which provided two wins from seven games."We have to erase everything in the past, we can't be lamenting results that happened before, we start from scratch and with a lot of energy and belief that we can win every competition," Madrid captain Sergio Ramos told reporters.
Madrid coach Zidane was pleased with the performance and praised his side for keeping control of the game after Modric was sent off.
