Celta fans have chosen Williot Swedberg as Estrella Galicia’s MVP of December, an award that recognizes the Swedish striker’s outstanding performance and highlights the values of hard work and a drive for excellence shared by both the iconic beer from Hijos de Rivera and Celta.
We could say that December was a near-perfect month for Williot, who played a leading role in several key moments for the team. Undoubtedly, the historic victory for Celta against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu stands out, where Williot Swedberg scored a memorable brace. It was a match played with great intensity and emotion, but the player himself admits that “it’s pure happiness, but at that moment you’re so focused that it’s hard to feel anything.”
Also decisive in the victory against Athletic Bilbao to close out 2025 at Abanca Balaídos, Williot chooses to remain grounded and focus on continuing to work hard: “Football doesn’t stop. I’m very happy with everything that happened, but I have to keep improving.”
Williot Swedberg’s strong individual performances have contributed to the positive start to the year for Claudio Giráldez’s team, who have now gone six LaLiga matches unbeaten. The Swedish striker emphasized the team’s success, stating, “We’re doing a great job, playing well, and enjoying football and life.”
This positive momentum was further boosted by the recent victory against LOSC Lille at Abanca Balaídos, which secured Celta’s qualification for the Europa League Round of 32. This win has reinforced the team’s optimism for the upcoming season, as Swedberg himself acknowledged: “We’re very excited about what’s to come, and together we’re going to enjoy many great nights of football at Abanca Balaídos.”
Finally, Williot expressed his gratitude for the support he received after being named Estrella Galicia MVP for December: “This trophy belongs to everyone. Thank you to the fans for supporting me and being with us every day.”
A well-deserved recognition that caps off an outstanding month for Williot and reinforces Celta’s positive momentum at the start of the year.
Congratulations, Kraken!
