#1 Casemiro is indispensable for Zinedine Zidane
Casemiro was an absolute rock. The Brazilian did not allow any breathing space to Celta Vigo. The 27-year-old is indispensable for Zidane and he showed it why. Casemiro did all the dirty work for the Whites.
Trending
The Brazilian international made 9 recoveries, won 7 duels and successfully delivered 10 long balls in the 90 minutes he played. Casemiro was quite vital in the first and the third goal Real scored as he was the one who started the attack after winning the ball back from the hosts. He even made a vital block that could have resulted in a goal.
The defensive midfielder allowed Toni Kroos and Luka Modric to move forward freely and after the red card allowed Isco to dictate the game on his terms as he had the center of park secured.
Casemiro is an undisputed starter in Zidane's starling XI.
