Lyon berhasil meraih hasil imbang 1-1 yang krusial melawan Celta Vigo dalam leg pertama babak 16 besar Liga Europa.

Gol tersebut juga menjadi dorongan besar bagi Endrick, yang sebelumnya gagal mencetak gol dalam empat pertandingan berturut-turut.
Kapten Real Madrid, Dani Carvajal, secara terbuka membela keputusannya untuk memberi tepuk tangan kepada legenda Celta Vigo, Iago Aspas, selama pertandingan La Liga mereka di Balaidos.

Rahasia yang telah lama mengganjal seputar kaos ikonik Celta Vigo tahun 1990 yang dikenakan oleh Madonna akhirnya menemukan penyelesaian yang mengharukan. Bintang global tersebut secara resmi menanggapi pencarian publik yang dilakukan oleh klub Galisia, mengonfirmasi bahwa pakaian bersejarah yang ia kenakan selama penampilannya dalam tur "Blond Ambition" di Stadion Balaidos pada Juli 1990, tidak hanya aman tetapi tetap menjadi bagian yang berharga dari arsip karier legendarisnya.
Presiden Barcelona, Joan Laporta, telah memicu kembali persaingan sengit antara dua klub terbesar di Spanyol, dengan melancarkan serangan pedas terhadap Real Madrid setelah kemenangan dramatis mereka atas Celta Vigo.

Mimpi Trent Alexander-Arnold untuk pindah ke Santiago Bernabeu kini diuji oleh sorotan tajam media Spanyol.

Gol penentu Federico Valverde di menit-menit akhir menutupi penampilan yang mengecewakan dari Real Madrid saat mereka berhasil mengalahkan Celta Vigo dengan skor 2-1. Los Blancos memimpin di babak pertama, tetapi kebobolan gol balasan tak lama setelahnya. Mereka tampaknya akan puas dengan satu poin, tetapi gol penentu Valverde - tendangan yang sangat membelok di masa injury time babak kedua - memberikan mereka kemenangan penting di kandang lawan.
