Celta Vigo history
Celta formed in August 1923 when Real Vigo Sporting and Real Fortuna merged into Club Celta. The name honors the ancient Celtic peoples of Galicia, and the full title translates to Royal Celtic Club of Vigo. The nickname is Os Celestes, the Sky Blues. Deportivo A Coruña is the great regional rival, and their meetings are called the Galician derby.
Celta have never won La Liga or the Copa del Rey, though they reached three cup finals. Their best league finish was fourth in 2002-03, which earned a place in the 2003-04 Champions League, where Arsenal knocked them out in the round of 16. In 2016-17 they reached the Europa League semifinals for the first time before losing to Manchester United. In 2000 Celta shared the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
