Iago Aspas Leads Celta Vigo to Victory Against Sevilla

Iago Aspas returned to the starting lineup for Celta Vigo and was instrumental in securing another away victory for the team. He described the match as highly entertaining due to its physical nature and numerous challenges. “The midfielders on their side are big, strong players who possess physicality, even if they lack finesse. We anticipated the type of game they would present, and while we sought solutions, it was a more contested and difficult match. This season, we have been performing well in such encounters, focusing on keeping a clean sheet and defending collectively. Ultimately, we secured the three points thanks to that penalty,” Aspas remarked.

Celta Vigo capitalized on their moment against Sevilla, with Aspas noting, “They started aggressively, fueled by their home crowd, which made it challenging for us initially. However, as the game progressed, we found more space and time to think. We have exceptional players capable of turning the situation around and winning the match.”

The captain also highlighted the impressive performance of his team as they concluded the first half of the season: “We must value all the points we’ve earned, especially in a tough environment. We knew Sevilla was in a poor run of form after losing their last home game, and we needed to take advantage of that.”

Meanwhile, Williot Swedberg expressed his satisfaction with the match: “It was an intense game, constantly shifting from end to end, which made it very enjoyable, even with just one goal scored. In the end, we came out victorious, and I’m very happy. We were aware that Sevilla is a physically demanding team. Winning at Sánchez-Pizjuán is never easy, so I’m really pleased with the outcome.”
