Celta Vigo have made a stronger start to the La Liga season compared to last year, picking up two more points at this stage. The sky-blue side currently sit 14th in the table with seven points from one win, four draws and two losses across the opening seven matchdays.
The improvement is built on a more positive beginning. Last season, Celta waited until the tenth game for their first victory, but this term they secured it three matches earlier with a emphatic 5-0 win over Racing Santander. In that match, Pablo Durán became the only player to score twice against the same opponent this campaign. Goalkeeper Radu has also been fundamental, conceding three fewer goals than at the same point last season and keeping two clean sheets, a feat he did not manage in the equivalent period a year ago.
Defensive resilience and the ability to turn draws into wins, as demonstrated against Racing, are encouraging signs. The team remains unbeaten at home and now looks ahead to their next fixture, an away trip to bottom-side Elche on October 11th, aiming to continue their climb. Fans can follow the team's progress in the standings and the full schedule of fixtures.
