#2 Celta Vigo’s striking issue may have cost them a trophy
Trending
Celta Vigo have never won a trophy in their entire history.
The Galicians may be one of the most exciting sides to watch in La Liga, but until they sharpen their front line, Eduardo Berizzo's side are destined to be bridesmaids forever. John Guidetti was the perfect embodiment of why Celta Vigo have exited the Europa League and the Copa del Rey in the semifinals.
Despite getting a goal, Guidetti was awful tonight. His performance was made to look all the more ridiculous as Ronaldo offered himself up in stark contrast as the ideal, lethal striker. A 30-second spell in the game proved to be defining, where Guidetti dallied in the box when offered a gilt-edged chance to score, and the move ended up with him losing the ball and Ronaldo scoring his second of the night on the counter attack.
Iago Aspas and Daniel Wass were brilliant in their supporting roles, making great runs off the ball that were married to ingenious flicks that a better striker would have made merry with. Celta's other option was Claudio Beauvue - and if they're serious about their future as a competitive club, a lethal front man should be high up on their transfer list. Aspas and Wass deserve better.
