With the announcement that captain and now-famous forward Iago Aspas would be staying with the team, Celta Vigo handed their supporters perhaps the greatest Christmas gift they could have asked for.
The 37-year-old signed a new contract that keeps him there until the end of 2026, but his previous one expired next summer. For the supporters at Balaidos, who have watched Aspas participate in their European runs and save them from numerous relegations in extreme sports, he has become a Messiah.
Aspas, who has appeared in 16 of Claudio Giraldez's 17 Liga games this season, is still a key member of the team. He has six goals and three assists in those appearances, 13 of which have been starts. He is frequently the Galicians' center of invention, and despite his advanced age, he still has the midas touch in front of goal. However, the fact that Giraldez was benched against Real Sociedad and Celta still won shows that he has reduced the team's dependency on Aspas.
