Celta has reached 87th place in the official UEFA club rankings, becoming the fifth-highest-ranked Spanish team. This list, updated seasonally by UEFA, is based on the last five years’ results in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. Its aim is to accurately reflect which clubs have been most competitive and consistent in Europe.
Celta’s rise in this ranking is no coincidence. From that historic Europa League semi-final in 2017 to its recent return to continental competition, the club has managed to build its own identity, one that is courageous, committed, and supported by the Celta fans.
This evolution is valued even by UEFA and not only reflects the club’s growth but also has a real impact, with improved positioning in European draws and the possibility of avoiding opponents with higher coefficients in the early stages.
With this ranking, Celta is standing alongside the continent’s biggest clubs and reflects the ambition of a sporting project that continues to look forward.
