Celta has been playing attractive, attack-minded football, although it has faced certain difficulties in recent rounds. The Spanish club has picked up important points thanks to convincing victories over Dinamo Zagreb (0–3), PAOK (3–1), and Nice (2–1). However, it has suffered narrow defeats in hard-fought matches against Stuttgart (2–1), Bologna (1–2), and Ludogorets (3–2). Under the guidance of Claudio Giráldez, it is capable of staying compact in defense and instantly switching to sharp counterattacks, capitalizing on even the smallest mistakes by opponents. The ability to adjust tactics quickly depending on the flow of the match makes it a highly dangerous side.
