The Spaniard has a bigger issue at hand, something that is of greater importance to the collective requirements of his team. Celta Vigo are still hovering near the relegation zone, even though a better goal difference sees them currently occupy the 15th place. They are currently on 37 points and a strong finish to the season should help them secure their La Liga status. And the Spaniard, who has singlehandedly brought them so far, will be key to their survival once more.

Aspas returned from injury at the end of March and had a phenomenal month of April. The Spaniard scored four goals in five games last month and also provided four assists. Incidentally, Celta Vigo won two and drew three of those five games. Their only defeat in April was against Atletico Madrid, a game where Aspas was serving a yellow card suspension.
As of now, the Spaniard has 16 goals and six assists from 24 games in La Liga. He is currently averaging a goal every 124 minutes played. Even though Aspas does not have a realistic chance of winning the Golden Boot, he would be equally content if a stay in La Liga for Celta Vigo is secured.

Deepungsu Pandit
Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written over 8500 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
