    Celta can't forget 7-1 Real demolition





    Berizzo hoping to avoid second defeat in a row

    The Estadio Santiago Bernabeu does hold fond memories for Celta Vigo, who lost 7-1 to Real Madrid the last time they visited the capital.
    It's the biggest win of Zinedine Zidane's time as head coach so far, as his team blitzed Celta with six second half goals, while conversely it is Eduardo Berizzo's worst defeat while at the helm.
    The Galicians will be hoping to forget that defeat on Saturday when they return to the hallowed turf in Madrid, but will need to take on the lessons learned at the same time.
    "It will not affect us," said attacking midfielder Josep Sene Escudero, who was an unused sub on that day.
    On this occasion Celta will not have to deal with the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored four of the seven goals in that meeting.
    However, the visitors are also without a star player from that game in the form of Nolito, who left during the summer to join Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, meaning this will still be an uphill task for the side.
    "We have to play perfectly to get something at the Bernabeu," said Berizzo, while Sergi Gomez pointed out that Real Madrid are "lethal" on the counter-attack.
    Celta lost their opening game of the season 1-0 to newly promoted side Leganes, in what was the Pepineros first ever top flight game in LaLiga.
