Before hosting Real Madrid for the 10th day of La Liga, Celta de Vigo made fun of their future opponent about… their record. If the club from the Spanish capital is one of the most successful clubs in history, it has never won the Intertoto Cup, unlike Celta, who made it known.
“Madridistas, there is a title you will never have.” The message posted by Celta de Vigo on Friday before hosting Real Madrid on Saturday for the 10th day of La Liga was surprising. On its social networks, the Galicia club decided to troll the most successful European club on… its track record! He recalls that he won the Intertoto Cup in 2000, when the capital club never won it.

Celta de Vigo even issued a statement to explain why this campaign, which began with a poster unfurled in Madrid’s Plaza Mayor, on which was written: “Madridistas, there is a title that you will never have.” “Real Club Celta receives this Saturday 19 at the Abanca Balaídos one of the greatest clubs in the world: Real Madrid. Without a doubt, the most successful club in the history of world football, with 130 titles to its Among them, the brand new 15 European Cups which take pride of place in the famous Madrid museum and a total of 23 European trophies.”
“A continental title that Real Madrid will never have”
“It is common to consider the white club as the team that ‘won everything’. But that is not entirely true. (…) A title that teams of the caliber of PSG or Juventus wear it proudly, just like Celta (…) Celta offers all the Merengue supporters who will go to the Abanca Balaídos this Saturday our only European title to date and, at the same time, a continental title as the. Real Madrid will never have in its trophy cabinet: the Intertoto Cup.”
Celta therefore invited all its supporters and those of Real Madrid to come and take a photo with the famous trophy outside the Vigo stadium, in a stand set up specially from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. And the Galician club went to the end of its troll and really placed this same trophy a few hours before kick-off against the Merengues.
“Madridistas who want to take photos, touch and feel this title up close will be able to do so before the match, free of charge, at the invitation of Celta fans. We encourage you to come,” the press release concludes.
