Celta march on in the cup
Cádiz are out and Celta go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Celta strike at the death to beat Cádiz
There were 87 minutes on the clock and Cádiz had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Celta did not stop to explain themselves.

Jones El-Abdellaoui, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.59
A mark of 8.59 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Williot Swedberg beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

One of their own: Ilaix Moriba
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Celta promote Ignacio Camacho from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ignacio Camacho 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.
