Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Pablo Jiménez

16 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Celta lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Words exchanged at Celta

Iago Aspas and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Words at Celta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ilaix Moriba is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Whatever happens, Celta do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match

Osasuna end the Celta run at 4

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 4 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Yoel

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Yoel, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Ferran Jutglà

7.87, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Celta had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad

Ignacio Flores signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ignacio Flores and Celta agree another 3 years.

Match

Ferran Jutglà rescues a point for Celta

It needed Ferran Jutglà to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Osasuna, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

In brief

  • Player ratings César Gelabert beats them one at a time
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Market The Ilaix Moriba talk will not go away

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Pablo Jiménez

32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Celta lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Cruel end for Barcelona as Celta pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Celta scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Market

César Gelabert raises the bar for Celta

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Celta heard it as anything else.

Match

Celta cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Yoel pulls a muscle — 15 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 15 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad

A row about effort at Celta

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ilaix Moriba was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

A falling-out at Celta

Javi Galán and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Celta promote Ignacio Flores from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ignacio Flores has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Alejandro León joins the Celta first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Alejandro León is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
