Hakkında Celta de Vigo
In a way - excluding Spain’s Big Three of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, with an occasional appearance of Valencia or any other team - Celta de Vigo can be looked on as a mirror image of Spanish football’s problems, especially in comparison to the English Premier League. As such, attendance for Celta’s two opening home matches of 2017 attracted crowds of 16,961 and 17,384, respectively. Soon, La Liga came calling.
As a rule, the league mandates that teams will fill out at least 70 per cent of thier home stadiums’ capacity. To be more specific, parts of the stadium that appear most on TV MUST be occupied. And Celta didn’t meet the requirements. So before being punished, the team reduced ticket prices and turned out for the local community. And not that Celta’s past hasn’t been filled with glory, exciting football.
Real Club Celta de Vigo, known simply as Celta, lies on Spain’s west coast, in the region of Galicia. After almost one hundred years of existence, the team has never won the La Liga title, not the Spanish Copa del Rey. But that doesn’t mean that the team from the region that loves sea food and carries Portuguese influence doesn’t have pride. They do, and every once in a while, Celta emerges, providing an epic match and upset one of the big three in a way that sometimes influences the title race.
Celta de Vigo was established in 1923. Like so many football clubs in the early 20th century, it’s formation was a merger of two clubs. In this case - Real Vigo Sporting and Real Fortuna Football Club. Ever since, it has been the pride and joy of the city of Vigo and Galicia.
Celta’s golden age was in the late 90’s-early 2000’s, just several years after being relegated to the second division but immediately being installed back to the first division by the league. Being led by coach Javier Irureta, the club has managed to ensemble a group of quality and exciting players, that set the tone on the pitch, such as Brazilian Mazinho, Russian Alexander Mostovoi and Valery Karpin, Israeli Hain Revivo, local kid Michel Salgado returning to the club and French goalkeeper Richard Dutruel. In 1997 Estadio Balaidos was suddenly not a safe heaven for visiting teams, including Real Madrid and Barcelona. The team finished La Liga 6th and qualified for European competition. Suddenly, it was no longer the small club from Galicia, but rather “EuroCelta”, as the local press named it. And EuroCelta had the results to showed for it: A 3-1 win over Aston Villa away and a 4–1 aggregate win over Liverpool in the 1998–99 UEFA Cup, a 4–0 thrashing of Juventus in the 1999–2000 UEFA Cup and a 7–0 home win against Benfica Lisbon and a 3-2 win over Barcelona in the quarter finals of the 1999–2000 UEFA Cup. In 1998-99 the team finished 5th in La Liga and in 2002-03 4th, it’s best overall. And then it was back to normal, as relegation followed the 2004-05 season. Ever since, Celta has bounced back and forth between Spain’s first and second divisions, before returning to the first division prominently in 2012-13.
Manolo is Celta’s all-time appearance leader, with 432 matches between 1966-82. The club’s top goal scorer is Hermidita, with 107 league goals scored between 1945-56.
Celta de Vigo play its home matches in the Balaidos, with a capacity of 29,000 seats.
