**Madrid, Spain** – Real Madrid, still reeling from their recent Supercopa de Espana defeat to Barcelona, faces a crucial Copa del Rey round of 16 match against Celta Vigo on Friday, January 17th. The match, kicking off at 2:00 AM IST, will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Ancelotti’s team will be looking to secure a victory to avoid further pressure after facing criticism for tactical decisions in the recent El Clasico loss.

Real Madrid, coming off a 5-0 win over Deportivo Mirena, will be hoping to maintain their momentum. However, Celta Vigo, who defeated Racing Santander 3-2, will pose a significant challenge. The two teams previously met in La Liga, with Real Madrid securing a 2-1 victory.

The match will not be televised in India, but fans can stream it live via the Fancode app and website. Both teams have released their probable starting XIs, with Real Madrid potentially featuring Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. in their attack. A win for either team would propel them into the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. The stakes are high for Ancelotti, whose position could be jeopardized if Real Madrid fails to advance.
