The Celta team this season saw some veteran players leave, like Brais Méndez and Denis Suárez, but there’s excitement for the future with young talents coming through the academy under coach Claudio Giráldez. Aside from star player Iago Aspas leading the team, defender Carlos Domínguez has solidified his spot with 21 league games and 3 Copa matches under his belt this season. Another standout has been Hugo Álvarez, who showed promise in the final stretch of the season with 12 league appearances and 4 Copa matches, scoring a goal and providing an assist along the way.
It’s been a season of growth for the Celta youth players, with talents like Damián and Hugo Sotelo making significant contributions. Goalkeeper Iván Villar has also seen game time, taking part in 11 league matches and 4 Copa games. However, Miguel Rodríguez had a quieter season despite featuring in 14 league games, clocking only 198 minutes on the pitch. On the other hand, Kevin Vázquez, who played 11 league and 5 Copa games under coach Claudio Giráldez, has yet to make his debut this season, missing out on some matchday squads.
As the Celta team looks ahead to the future, the development of their young talents from the academy under Claudio Giráldez is crucial for their continued success. With players like Carlos Domínguez and Hugo Álvarez stepping up this season, the blend of experience and youth bodes well for Celta’s prospects. The team will be looking to build on these foundations in the upcoming seasons, with a focus on nurturing their homegrown talents for long-term success in both the league and cup competitions.
