Copa del Rey 2016/17: Real Madrid 1-2 Celta Vigo: 5 Talking Points

Celta shocked Madrid at the Bernabeu with a brilliant win

#3 Celta’s counter attacks and Iago Aspas in the form of his life

Iago Aspas
Aspas was lively and got an important goal

Celta’s game plan became quite apparent in the game as they repeated it quite often. After forcing Real out wide, sucking their full backs forward, and then defending the crosses, they broke on numerous occasions, exploiting the space on the flanks.

Although they could muster only six shots in the game with only four on target, they used their chances effectively and scored the two decisive goals needed to win the game. Iago Aspas led the line as the lone striker extremely well causing Sergio Ramos a world of bother, he even got the Madrid captain booked and wound up.

He dropped deep and made runs when necessary, keeping Varane and Ramos on their toes. He then took his chance clinically and found the back of the net after the ball fell to him. He has now scored 13 goals in his last 13 games and is in the form of his life.
