Celta Vigo 1-3 SC Freiburg - UEFA Champions League Match Highlight 16th Apr 2026

Wow, what a night in the Champions League! Nobody really saw this coming, but SC Freiburg just went into Celta Vigo’s home ground and walked away with a massive 3-1 win. Honestly, Celta Vigo looked completely lost from the start, and Freiburg took full advantage of that.

Freiburg opened the scoring early in the first half after a terrible defensive mistake from Celta. Then, right before halftime, they doubled the lead with a beautiful team goal. Celta Vigo tried to fight back in the second half and actually managed to score one goal around the 65th minute, making it 2-1. For a second, the home fans thought a comeback was happening.

But Freiburg shut them down real quick. They caught Celta on a fast counter-attack late in the game and smashed in the third goal to seal the win. It was a tactical masterclass from the German side, leaving Celta Vigo with a mountain to climb in the second leg. Celta’s defense was just all over the place tonight.
