Instead of focusing solely on the possibility of reaching European places next season, Mouriño celebrates the team's permanence in the First Division, adding 41 points so far. “We must not forget where we come from and what we have been through in recent years. From there, we can dream of the Conference, Europe or the Champions League,” he concluded, making it clear that Celta's ambition goes beyond survival.

The expectation for the match increases and Celtic fans are ready to support their team in this important challenge. With a mixture of excitement and nerves, Celta seeks to make history in Europe, and the unconditional support of its fans could be the necessary push to achieve it.

The latest news from Spanish football indicates that the match is not only crucial for Celta, but also for the future of the competition. The Europa League has always been a showcase for those teams looking to prove their worth on the old continent, and Celta has the opportunity to leave its mark.

In short, president Marian Mouriño has embodied the spirit of fight and hope that characterizes Celta.
