Celta de Vigo 2026/27 La Liga Preview
Celta de Vigo have drawn four of seven and won once, and that win was a 5-0 dismantling of Racing de Santander. Claudio Giráldez’ side have conceded only six goals – a top-four defensive record – but scored just eight, and 14th place reflects how many afternoons have ended level.
Ionut Radu has been excellent with 21 saves and three clean sheets behind a back three of Javi Rodríguez, Yoel Lago and Marcos Alonso. Pablo Durán leads the scoring with two. Miguel Román and Hugo González share the corners, and González has converted the only penalty.
Sixth and 54 points last season earned Celta European football and set a high bar. The defence is holding up to it; the attack is not. Four draws in seven is a habit that turns a European campaign into a mid-table one very quickly.
