The returning of European football to Balaidos was full of joy for RC Celta. In an equal and fought match against a tough opponent like the historic Panathinaikos, the sky blues gave everything to achieve the three points in the last minutes. A goal of Guidetti and an amazing free kick goal of Wass gave Celta its first victory in Europe after a decade.
