LaLiga 2018-19, Barcelona 2-0 Celta Vigo: 5 talking points

#4 Aspas and Gomez fail to get their act going

Aspas has scored 10 league goals this season

Celta Vigo have the services of one of the best striker duos in the league. Iago Aspas and Maxi Gomez have scored 18 goals between them for their side, along with 6 assists as well. Only two sides can better Celta's 28 league goals this season. But they failed to reproduce that form against Barcelona.

The duo of Gomez and Aspas completed just 46 passes in the game and had just 2 shots on the Barcelona goal. Aspas was hauled off before the hour mark due to an injury, which further blunted the Celta attack.

Aspas and Gomez have scored 64% of their team's goals, so Miguel Cardoso naturally depends heavily on them. But they did not get into their groove against Barcelona, which went a long way in impacting the final result.
