Em Glasgow, o Celta de Vigo virou o placar, fez 2 a 1 sobre o Celtic nesta quinta-feira, 22, e comemorou os primeiros pontos na Liga Europa de 2026/27. Javi Rodríguez marcou duas vezes no começo do segundo tempo e virou um jogo que o time da casa havia aberto dois minutos depois do intervalo.
A terceira rodada da competição teve primeiro tempo sem gols no Celtic Park. Toda a movimentação do placar ficou para depois do intervalo, quando o Celtic de Martin O'Neill, organizado em 4-2-3-1, marcou com Mika Baur logo no início. A reação espanhola, no 3-4-3 de Claudio Giráldez, veio na sequência.
Aos 23, Javi Rodríguez recebeu de Hugo Álvarez e deixou tudo igual. Três minutos mais tarde, o mesmo Rodríguez acertou a rede outra vez e definiu o resultado para os visitantes.
Os números confirmam o domínio do Celta: posse de bola de 56% e 22 finalizações para os espanhóis, contra oito do Celtic. As duas equipes, porém, acertaram o alvo quatro vezes cada — o que obrigou Sam Johnstone, goleiro escocês, a duas defesas, e Ionut Radu, arqueiro espanhol, a três intervenções.
Com o resultado, o Celta chega a três pontos em três rodadas; o Celtic segue sem nenhum. Os espanhóis voltam a jogar neste domingo, 25, diante do Betis, pela La Liga. No mesmo dia, o Celtic encara o Hibernian pelo Campeonato Escocês.
