The exception is the quiet finals of the league

Bad dynamics Celtic has been causing concern in recent weeks. Although the table and 39 points of the club from Vigo still say that salvation is close, the results also dictate that it is postponed again and again. Therefore, at the moment, there is no calm at the door of the 35th round that the club has rarely found since its return to the First League, either because it is fighting for relegation or because it sees Europe as a more or less distant option.

Immersed in the fight for salvation

Celta have experienced three agonizing saves in this period, so nothing has been said at this point. Or if it seemed to be, it was in terms of an outcome that ultimately didn’t happen: the descent. The clearest case is the one from the first season, the one from Salvation 4%, 2013; With four games to go, the team was in nineteenth place, two points away from safety and the same number of points ahead of the last team. They would lose the next two games (to Atlético and Betis), but wins against Valladolid and Espanyol were worth saving.

The uncertainty lasted one less day in 2019, when A Nosa Reconquista started the team under Iago Aspas, managing to reach round 38 practically unscathed. So far the team has been two above relegation. Already next season, they had to wait for the last moment to confirm their durability, despite the fact that they were six above the red zone with four games to go. They added only two points from the last twelve, which almost pushed them into the abyss.

European ambition

In 2105, Berizzo’s Celta was two points behind Europe at that point in the tournament, although in the end it didn’t make it. He did it the following year, when he was already practically classified and even had the possibility of being fifth. In 2018 and 2021, the team was six and seven points away from the continental goal, respectively, which neither Unzué nor Coudet achieved.

2014, 2017 and 2022

nobody’s land

Although the expression “in no man’s land” in relation to Celta will be associated with Eduard Coudet, who was twelfth from Europe last year and nine of the relegations after 34 games, two more years have passed since the relegations with similar scenarios. In 2014, Luis Enrique was bailed out of a chance for a European ticket after a brilliant second round, the same thing that happened to Toto in 2017 when the team neglected the league due to the two semi-finals they reached, but without consistency was at risk at all times.
