After scoring more than 150 goals in LaLiga, Iago Aspas continues to write his name in the history of RC Celta by reaching 200 goals with the celestial shirt, thus defending his title as the top scorer in the club’s history. This milestone not only reflects the innate talent of the player from Moaña but also his commitment and invaluable contribution to the team of his heart.
In the match against FC Barcelona, corresponding to matchday 25 of LALIGA EA SPORTS, Aspas scored his 151st goal in LaLiga, which led him to reach the round figure of 200 goals with Celta. An achievement that consolidates his position as the third-highest Spanish scorer of the 21st century and places him as the first player in the club’s history to reach this distinguished mark.
Iago Aspas, a living legend of RC Celta, adds these two hundred to his long list of feats. Trained in the club’s youth academy, since his return in the 2015/16 season after a brief stint with Liverpool and Sevilla, the number 10 has led the team to two Copa del Rey semifinals, a historic qualification for the Europa League semifinals, and secured several stays in LaLiga, consistently scoring: 14 goals (2015/16), 19 (2016/17), 22 (2017/18), 20 (2018/19), 14 (2019/20 and 2020/21), 18 (2021/22), and 12 (2022/23). These numbers have allowed him to break records, such as matching David Villa as the only player capable of winning the Zarra Trophy 4 times, to which he now adds the achievement of scoring 200 goals with the team of his life.
Aspas, a Celtista from birth and a child who dreamed of wearing the RC Celta shirt, not only fulfilled his dream but has woven, and continues to weave, a legend that will be remembered for generations. Congratulations, Iago!
