Camp Nou to host 1,000th La Liga match

Barcelona's Camp Nou Stadium will host its 1,000th La Liga contest this evening when the home side welcome Luis Enrique's Celta Vigo side.

The famous ground, which opened in 1957, has currently hosted 999 games at the top level of Spanish football, with the home side winning 754 of those particular matches.

The first game ended in a 6-1 win over Jaen, with former striker Eulogio Martinez netting a famous hat-trick.

As it stands, Barcelona currently sit third in La Liga, but three points against Celta would move them into third ahead of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid's respective games later in the evening.
