Celta de Vigo Winless Against French Rivals in Europe
23 Oct
Summary
- Celta de Vigo have not won any of their 4 major European matches against French teams
- Nice have lost all 4 of their away European games against Spanish sides
- Celta de Vigo have never lost a home European group stage match
As of October 23rd, 2025, Celta de Vigo's European record against French opponents has been less than stellar. The Spanish club has failed to win any of their 4 major European matches against French teams, drawing 2 and losing 2. Both of Celta de Vigo's home games against French sides, Marseille in 1999 and Lens in 2000, ended in 0-0 draws in the UEFA Cup.
On the other hand, French club Nice has struggled mightily in their away European games against Spanish teams. They have lost all 4 of their away major European matches against Spanish sides, including twice against Real Madrid (in 1957 and 1960), and once each against Barcelona (1973) and Espanyol (1976).
However, Celta de Vigo has been a fortress in European group stage matches at home. The Spanish club has never lost a home major European group stage match, with a record of 9 games played, 4 wins, and 5 draws across the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup, and UEFA Europa League.
