Real Madrid vs. Celta Vigo: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 139

Draws: 21

These two sides have locked horns on 139 occasions throughout history, and Real Madrid comfortably lead the head-to-head record, having won 83 times to Celta's 35, while there have also been 21 draws.

Real Madrid have netted 324 times against Celta, conceding 175, while Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time leading goalscorer in this fixture, having scored 20 goals against the Sky Blues during his time with Los Blancos.

Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid have also dominated their La Liga meetings, winning 73 of their 120 matches, suffering 30 defeats in the process, while there have been 17 draws.

Notably, three of Celta's last four wins over Real Madrid have actually come at the Bernabeu, while they have only beaten Los Blancos once in front of their own supporters since May 2001.

Real enjoyed a 10-game winning run against Celta in La Liga between May 2014 and December 2025, when Os Celestes emerged 2-0 winners in the Spanish capital during their most recent clash at Bernabeu.

Xabi Alonso's side came into that game desperate to keep up with Barcelona in the title race, but after conceding the first goal to Williot Swedberg's brilliant flick early in the second half, frustrations grew.

Madrid left-back Fran Garcia picked up two yellow cards in around sixty seconds shortly beyond the hour mark, before Alvaro Fernandez Carreras saw a straight red for abusing the referee in stoppage time.

To make matters worse, Swedberg then added a second when he was played through by Celta legend Iago Aspas and dribbled around Thibaut Courtois before walking the ball into an empty net.

However, Real Madrid were able to gain some revenge in the reverse meeting in Vigo in March 2026, with the capital giants recording a last-gasp 2-1 in.
