Celta Vigo bid farewell to the UEFA Europa League after losing to Freiburg 1-3 in the second leg of the quarter-finals at Balaídos Stadium, securing the German team's qualification with an aggregate score of 1-6 following a 3-0 defeat in the first leg.

Celta entered the match needing a "historic comeback," and began with clear offensive pressure and an advantage in possession, but without real effectiveness in front of the goal, while Freiburg relied on defensive organization and counterattacks.

The German team effectively settled the match in the first half, during which they scored two goals, winning through a hat-trick from Matijanovic and Suzuki (two goals), capitalizing on Celta's defensive errors and their own high efficiency in taking chances.

Despite late attempts by the home team, Celta was unable to make a comeback and settled for a consolation goal in injury time through Svedberg, exiting the tournament with great disappointment for their fans.
