Celta-Espanyol Rivalry: Fun Facts and History

Here are some fried facts (spicy, fun, or little-known tidbits) about the rivalry and history between Celta de Vigo and RCD Espanyol:

1. The 'Other' Catalan vs. Galician Rivalry

While Barcelona vs. Deportivo La Coruña was a bigger deal in the 1990s/2000s, Celta vs. Espanyol also represents a clash of cultures—Galicia vs. Catalonia. Both regions have strong identities and languages (Galician and Catalan), adding extra spice to matches.

2. The 1999-2000 UEFA Cup Thriller

Both teams met in the 2000 UEFA Cup quarter-finals, with Espanyol winning 2-0 on aggregate. However, the first leg in Vigo was a fiery 0-0, with Celta missing key chances. Espanyol went on to reach the final (losing to Liverpool).

3. The Tamudo vs. Celta Drama

Espanyol legend Raúl Tamudo was a Celta nightmare, scoring 6 goals against them. His last-minute equalizer in a 2007 relegation battle (2-2) crushed Celta’s survival hopes, sending them to the Segunda.

4. Celta’s Revenge in 2017

In a crucial relegation clash, Celta smashed Espanyol 3-1 in 2017, with Iago Aspas running the show. This win helped Celta survive while Espanyol barely escaped the drop.

5. Espanyol’s Bizarre Own Goal (2018)

In a 2-2 draw, Espanyol defender David López scored a comical own goal by deflecting a cross with his face, leaving fans stunned.

6. Both Teams Love a Relegation Battle

Celta and Espanyol have often fought against relegation at the same time, making their head-to-head matches high-stakes dramas.

7. The 'Perico' vs. 'Celeste' Nickname Origins

Espanyol are called 'Los Pericos' (The Parakeets) due to their bright blue-and-white stripes resembling a parakeet’s feathers.

Celta are nicknamed 'Os Celestes' (The Sky Blues) for their iconic jersey color.

8. Espanyol’s Strange Dominance in Vigo

Despite Celta’s strong home form, Espanyol has won more at Balaídos (Celta’s stadium) than at their own ground in recent years.

9. The Maxi López Connection

Argentine striker Maxi López played for both clubs—scoring crucial goals for Celta (2014-2017) and later joining Espanyol (2017-2019).

10. The Fans’ Fiery Atmosphere
