Overview

• Celta Vigo began its preseason on July 15 at Afouteza with a closed-door friendly streamed on YouTube that ended in a 0-2 loss to Portuguese side Famalicão.
• Simón Elisor broke the deadlock just before halftime and Justin de Haas converted a second-half penalty to secure the visitors’ victory.
• Coach Claudio Giráldez fielded a 3-4-3 formation led by Iago Aspas but identified defensive lapses and a lack of attacking cohesion.

• Celta will use this result to sharpen tactical details and build match fitness ahead of upcoming friendlies before the LaLiga campaign.
