Stats for this game
Matchup Atletico Madrid VS Celta Vigo
Atletico set the stronger reference
Atletico have supplied many of the convincing scorelines in this pairing, including a 4–0 win at Celta on 10 September 2016, a 3–0 victory in Vigo on 21 October 2023 and a 4–1 home success on 10 September 2022. Their 1–0 away result on 26 September 2024 also illustrates how control can appear in a tighter form. These examples give Atletico the clearer historical footing.
Celta can still change the script
Celta defeated Atletico 2–0 at home on 15 February 2015 and repeated that scoreline in Vigo on 1 September 2018. The teams drew 1–1 in Madrid on 15 February 2025 and in Vigo on 5 October 2025, before Celta won 1–0 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on 9 May 2026. The away victory matters because it challenges the assumption that Celta’s threat depends on home surroundings. A future meeting will therefore be engaging for the same reason: Atletico’s established control must withstand a challenger with evidence of disruption in both venues.
