The topic remains relevant as long as Celta Vigo continues to add to its statistics during FC Barcelona’s visits to Balaídos. In the last ten encounters between the two teams in Vigo, the Catalan side has managed to secure victory only twice. In contrast, Celta has triumphed on four occasions, with an equal number of matches ending in a draw, while suffering defeat in the remaining two. Claudio Giráldez has faced the team led by Flick twice, achieving a draw at Balaídos (2-2) and a loss in Barcelona (4-3). During the last visit from Barcelona to Vigo, on November 23 of the previous year, Celta managed to equalize a match they were trailing 0-2 in the 84th minute. Goals from Alfon and Hugo Álvarez cancelled out the earlier strikes from Raphinha and Lewandowski. It is worth noting that last season, Giráldez’s team demonstrated strong performance at Balaídos, yet they have yet to secure a home victory this season, recording five draws and one loss. For several Celta players, this match will serve as a reunion with their former club. Notably, Óscar Mingueza, Marcos Alonso, Moriba, and Jutglà, along with third goalkeeper Marc Vidal, who played in Barcelona’s youth ranks, all have previous ties to the Catalan club.
