Vinicius Junior ran into the stands to celebrate his goal with the Real Madrid supporters during Los Blancos’ 5-2 win against Celta Vigo on Sunday night, but questions were immediately raised as to whether the Brazilian could be punished for doing so.
Karim Benzema gave a terrific showing to celebrate Real Madrid’s return to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, twice equalising against Celta Vigo, setting up the goal which put Los Blancos ahead and eventually getting his hat-trick, which makes him the standalone leader atop the Pichichi chart.
Eduardo Camavinga’s Real Madrid career has got off to the perfect start. The 18-year-old came on to a great reception at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and within six minutes was putting the ball in the back of the net to give Los Blancos a 4-2 lead.
In what is expected to be the most exciting game of LaLiga Santander’s Matchday 5, Valencia will host Real Madrid on Sunday night at Mestalla as they look to extend their impressive four-game unbeaten run.
In the event Barcelona fail to improve in the next few games, Joan Laporta may consider parting ways with Ronald Koeman, but finding a replacement is unlikely to be an easy task for the Barcelona president.
Cadiz collected their first win of the LaLiga season after two quickfire goals on the stroke of half-time ushered them a to a 2-1 victory at struggling Celta Vigo.
Anthony Lozano put the visitors up after 38 minutes before Alfonso Espino doubled Cadiz’s lead five minutes later. Although Santi Mina pulled one back just after the hour mark, Cadiz ultimately held on.

Ronald Koeman’s Barcelona contract expires next summer, in June 2022, and his renewal with the club has not been agreed. In the event that the two parties don’t agree to extend his stay, the Dutchman will be set for a nice pay-off.
