Iago Aspas has done it again and continues to add to his legend with a milestone only within reach of the great figures who have played in our league. With his latest goal against Villarreal CF, “O Rei das Bateas” has become one of only ten players in the history of the Spanish Primera División to have scored at least nine goals in 10 consecutive seasons.
A list headed by Gillermo Gorostiza and completed by other football greats such as Telmo Zarra, César Rodríguez, Pahíño, Alfredo Di Stefano, Carlos Santillana, José María Bakero, Raúl González and Leo Messi. The sky blue captain thus enters the Olympus of goal legends and once again demonstrates his quality and eye for goal.
Beyond the numbers that are unquestionable, we run out of adjectives to define a player with a trajectory and a feeling so deep inside RC Celta. The driving force and soul of the Celta team, Iago Aspas is a living legend of Spanish football who continues to thrill the fans every time he takes the field.
