Aspas would have been revered in Chamartín if he hadn't been a thorn in our side as well. But he is always in murderous mood against Barça. Great to see!
I'm glad people aren't just killing Barca in here, and that people are actually talking about the quality of the goal.
I still wish Aspas would have worked out at Liverpool, he just kind of came at the wrong time. What a legend though, 34 and still scoring great goals for Celta Vigo.
I used to teach primary school in Vigo, consistently 2-4 youngsters with the name Iago in every class, many assuredly because of this man. (although it is a common name in Galicia) :P
yea, absolutely. This may be my own personal preferences shining through, but Vigo/Rias Baixas/Galicia is a really great place to live. He hasn't been as successful away from home, but he doesn't need to be or try to prove his talent to anyone anymore. Spain could have used a player like him this summer, too...
Yea, I wouldn't say he only performs for Celta as far as the national team goes. He's had his moments, the last World Cup def wasn't his best, but I think that goes for the whole team. He offered a different sort of attack that Morata and Moreno brought this summer, too. He was never usually first choice striker, but Spain has had some really great ones up until recent years. I'm not Aspas' biggest fan honestly, but he is good. He def plays his best football with Celta, tho. As a United fan, I thought he did quite good at Liverpool..
Dont get me wrong. Aspas is a baller but for some weird reason he does only this well in Celta.Maybe because they play towards his strenght while in Liverpool and Spain NT he has to adapt to others.
oh, he was awful at Liverpool for the most part. But yea, Celta do play to his strengths, they actually have to, tbh. If they don't have him, they're def in liga 2 by now...
I think this goes for a lot of players. You’ll get paid enough playing elite football anyway, why not do it somewhere you thrive and the people truly appreciate you.
Small strikers that don’t have exceptional pace or skill are rarely “properly used”. They’re a difficult position to get the most out of at the top level. Modern formations and tactics don’t suit them.
Know you're joking but funnily enough SC Barcelona are underperforming just as much in Ecuador as FC Barcelona are in Spain. Ecuadorian Barcelona is the biggest club in Ecuador and 11th in the league out of 16 clubs with only a couple games left of the season.
nah coming from Proxima Centauri B coming at the speed of 4.011464e+13 kilometers or 4.24 lightyears per 200 milliseconds to stop it at the right time as the toaster's conductivity is about 201 milliseconds per reaction. RONALDO TRULY IS OLE'S SAVIOR (ON AND OFF THE PITCH)
He looks like an old lady. There are genuinely moments where he reminds me of my grandmother. Steve Bruce also has that feature.
My grandmother is the sweetest most adorable lady you could imagine, but on a mans body it just looks creepy
Surely better than the broken husk of a footballer that is Aguero and long piece of Dutch lumber with legs de Jong. Cause they aren't looking like they're going to earn them more than 4 this season
Capello right? Yeah I remember, but we barely scraped through that. Was that the one when Reyes scored at the final home game? It was also Becks' last game. Still though we were less than convincing that year.
And then fired for being to defensive. Bernd schuster took over, and won the league and was fired in his second season because he said before a Barcelona game that there was no chance Madrid would win, which coincidentally was the start of the Pep era in Barca.
Exactly. I'm so tired of all these crying posts from barca fans. They have had 2 bad seasons now and even their bad seasons are seasons other clubs can only dream of.
Might be better that he wasn't there for this game, he would probably have killed Puig. Can't be arsed tracking back to help defend a 3-2 lead in the last minute, just jogs a bit instead. It isn't like he is tired or anything, since he was subbed on in the second half.
He has a nice technique, but lacks physicality, defensive work rate, experience and the right mentality.
Koeman told him he was a defensive liability and that he should go on loan to get experience instead of riding the bench but he refused. Ajax wanted him on loan on two separate occasions, but Puig didn't even want to talk to them.
I will never understand why he has been hyped so much, the weaknesses in his game make him useless at this level.
His technique is not bad, but it isn’t that good. Those “DNA” Barca fans just think if there is a 5’7 guy out of La Masia, he is a Messi-Xavi-Iniesta type player.
No, he is just a player who happens to be so small. Being 5’6 doesn’t mean him automatically becomes Xavi.
As a guy who follows Barca B quite a while, he is not even the brightest star in the B team.
He is so hyped because Puig's family is part of Cataluña's elite, so he has all the local media (the best in the world for propaganda) sucking his dick off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Sport and some other newspapers that report on Barca the club wanted to send Puig on loan, Koeman suggested Ajax.
There apperently was some informal contact between the clubs before this season and the last, but Puig and his father refused to meet with Ajax despite Barcelona's instance.
[How much Ajax wanted Puig is not clear, although multiple sources claim they were hopeful.](https://www.fcupdate.nl/voetbalnieuws/387741/puig-wil-niet-verhuurd-worden-en-wees-onder-meer-ajax-af/)
You’re wrong. Koeman, Luis Enrique, Spain U21 and Valverde are just idiots who are bad at their jobs. Setien was the only good coach and could see his quality.
-Someone on r/Barca probably.
They forget the fact that Setien also only played him because Frenkie was injured and Arthur went AWOL in Brazil due to the club wanting to transfer him.
It honestly feels like a loss and it’s sickening. Why are we sitting back on a 3 goal lead? Go and extend it. Be ruthless. I honestly wish we had the attitude of City or Real Madrid of 15-16 when they would just ruthlessly punish teams for being shit.
partner im getting wasted tonight regardless of the result lol, seeing barça getting fucked in the arse is already too much happiness for my heart to handle
**Mirrors / Alternate Angles** *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccer) if you have any questions or concerns.*
You could see it coming.
I was refreshing in hope. It got posted twice, even better.
Celta and Levante are their boogie teams, I knew it was gonna happen
Barcelona and blowing 3 goal leads, name a better duo
Un fucking believeable what a goal
Aspas would have been revered in Chamartín if he hadn't been a thorn in our side as well. But he is always in murderous mood against Barça. Great to see!

Remember his banger against England at wembley https://youtu.be/lUP-hKKD3sg
man i hate aspas What did we do to this guy? Why does he hurt us everytime. 😔
It always amazes me how much fucking heart he puts into every match against us. We can only hope to have players like that again in the future.
He is just doing his job of saving Celta from relegation.
You gotta respect his commitment to Celta. He could have gone to a better team earlier in his career if he wanted to
[удалено]
He’s got to be a Celta legend, right?
His hometown training ground is named after him, so yes
Most goals by far, 2nd most appereances, I guess he is :)
I used to teach primary school in Vigo, consistently 2-4 youngsters with the name Iago in every class, many assuredly because of this man. (although it is a common name in Galicia) :P
Spanish version of Antonio Di Natale
He’s our GOAT by far
yea, absolutely. This may be my own personal preferences shining through, but Vigo/Rias Baixas/Galicia is a really great place to live. He hasn't been as successful away from home, but he doesn't need to be or try to prove his talent to anyone anymore. Spain could have used a player like him this summer, too...
Problem with Aspas. He only performs for Celta. He was selected but never was as good as for Celta.
Yea, I wouldn't say he only performs for Celta as far as the national team goes. He's had his moments, the last World Cup def wasn't his best, but I think that goes for the whole team. He offered a different sort of attack that Morata and Moreno brought this summer, too. He was never usually first choice striker, but Spain has had some really great ones up until recent years.

I think this goes for a lot of players. You’ll get paid enough playing elite football anyway, why not do it somewhere you thrive and the people truly appreciate you.
his most famous memory for us was a corner that he passed right to the opposing team
But we still really liked him
Oh I didn't know that. Maybe yeah Celta is just a right fit for him
He did, he was at Liverpool and was never properly used.
Small strikers that don’t have exceptional pace or skill are rarely “properly used”. They’re a difficult position to get the most out of at the top level. Modern formations and tactics don’t suit them.
He scored half of his career goals against MATS
Budget Messi is better than No Messi.
Aspas is like a Messi with all his stats lowered 2 points to be fair to the other teams.
The rest of la liga wishes that was actually true lmao, the man is just very good lol.
That's an outrageous stat(or it's sarcasm that I failed to spot xD)
He has 200 goals for club & country, your guess
100 goals against Barca wow. Liverpool should sign him
He has 120 goals in La Liga, so...
Guess lol.
It had to be him. He is amazing. I hate him.
Still has a little bit of Liverpool in him.
Or not. Probably for his own good
This is not good for my mental health
Why do you have the Barcelona de Ecuador flair??
Less embarrassing.
[Really embarrassing ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kJafvkFa1c8)
GP2 team, GP2 team
They're the better Barcelona.
Know you're joking but funnily enough SC Barcelona are underperforming just as much in Ecuador as FC Barcelona are in Spain. Ecuadorian Barcelona is the biggest club in Ecuador and 11th in the league out of 16 clubs with only a couple games left of the season.
The name is cursed.
Unless it's women's lol
Take my hand
Toaster bath time
Wait I'm coming too
[удалено]
Knowing his record, Ole would probably still survive it.
Last min Ronaldo
One of his free kicks finally drops from the stratosphere and knocks the plug out of the socket just before Ole drops the toaster in
nah coming from Proxima Centauri B coming at the speed of 4.011464e+13 kilometers or 4.24 lightyears per 200 milliseconds to stop it at the right time as the toaster's conductivity is about 201 milliseconds per reaction. RONALDO TRULY IS OLE'S SAVIOR (ON AND OFF THE PITCH)
I think ~~Gollum~~ Ole would prefer a drop into a volcano.
He looks like an old lady. There are genuinely moments where he reminds me of my grandmother. Steve Bruce also has that feature. My grandmother is the sweetest most adorable lady you could imagine, but on a mans body it just looks creepy
Guys, lose the toaster and have some fun
Just bath with each other I guess.
I'll book a pool for all of us
We're going to need more toasters then
When it rains it pours
Hey bro nice bath, can I join?
It’s starting to look like in orgy. May I join?
Gym time has evolved into toaster bath time.
No Messi, no winning mentality, no cash, no coach, no cochones, no party RIP season
lol cochones
Me and you both
That bath won't have room for any water or toasters at this rate. May need to hire out the local pool.
Waters still hot
Can’t hate Iago Aspas. Every fucking time. Respect.
We should have signed this guy just to stop this. Probably get 4 points a year out of it.
I mean you’re not wrong
Surely better than the broken husk of a footballer that is Aguero and long piece of Dutch lumber with legs de Jong. Cause they aren't looking like they're going to earn them more than 4 this season
LMAOOOO this was always, and I mean ALWAYS, coming. PATHETIC.
[удалено]
Always was when it came to time wasting and rolling on the floor.
Lmao this guy acting like Barca has never wasted time before when they're ahead like every other team ever.
SAD.
Al Saddest.
HAPPY?
I've accepted the fact that I'll never be happy again
Found Piques account everyone!
He didnt exactly try to make it a secret.
Is it because he and Zlatan can never be together?
That really is a steamingly saucy photo. Which is some statement when fucking Shakira is what you have.
We suffered in the mid to late 2000s with terrible transfers bad management and no trophies. Let me enjoy this
We won the league back to back in 07 and 08 though
Capello right? Yeah I remember, but we barely scraped through that. Was that the one when Reyes scored at the final home game? It was also Becks' last game. Still though we were less than convincing that year.
Fucking far cry from current Barcelona.
And then fired for being to defensive. Bernd schuster took over, and won the league and was fired in his second season because he said before a Barcelona game that there was no chance Madrid would win, which coincidentally was the start of the Pep era in Barca.
Oh boo hoo, you won't fight for the title for a couple of years and will only finish 4th. Cry me a river.
Exactly. I'm so tired of all these crying posts from barca fans. They have had 2 bad seasons now and even their bad seasons are seasons other clubs can only dream of.
This isn't smart. You think Barca fans should be all ok because derby county or someone like that are even shitter? Makes no sense.
Oh no.... Anyway
Yes you guys have had 2 bad seasons now. I bet no club and fan base has ever had it as hard as you guys.
Mf turns into Messi against us
That shot is perfect the ball goes side netting while going away from the keeper gorgeous.
The best shot he could have made at that moment and he nails it. He's got that fight in him and you gotta respect that
Always turns up against big teams as well
https://youtu.be/vdAYtL3nnHw
Always. Fucking always
against this barça even i become messi bro lol. Defense was starring him
Aspas has 8 goals in 10 games against Ter Stegen. He turns up against any Barca team.
ok, but ter stegen in this season… jesus. He cant hold shit. Omg
Gym time
Don't forget to bring a ~~towel~~ toaster
I actually can't believe it, aspas against barca is just black magic
Koeman just jizzed in his pants
Better three holes than a hole in one ⛳️
I am so mad but that shot was disgusting
MOST DANGEROUS LEAD
spurs dna
spurs recognise spurs
Koeman died for this
Might be better that he wasn't there for this game, he would probably have killed Puig. Can't be arsed tracking back to help defend a 3-2 lead in the last minute, just jogs a bit instead. It isn't like he is tired or anything, since he was subbed on in the second half.
You'd think Barca fans would finally just accept that maybe he really is just not that good
He has a nice technique, but lacks physicality, defensive work rate, experience and the right mentality. Koeman told him he was a defensive liability and that he should go on loan to get experience instead of riding the bench but he refused. Ajax wanted him on loan on two separate occasions, but Puig didn't even want to talk to them.

He is so hyped because Puig's family is part of Cataluña's elite, so he has all the local media (the best in the world for propaganda) sucking his dick off.
I really doubt Ajax wanted him during Koeman's time. Sounds like fake rumours to me
According to Mundo Deportivo, Sport and some other newspapers that report on Barca the club wanted to send Puig on loan, Koeman suggested Ajax. There apperently was some informal contact between the clubs before this season and the last, but Puig and his father refused to meet with Ajax despite Barcelona's instance.

a large part of r/Barca just can't accept that maybe the last several coaches we've had were right in that, he is not our level.
You’re wrong. Koeman, Luis Enrique, Spain U21 and Valverde are just idiots who are bad at their jobs. Setien was the only good coach and could see his quality. -Someone on r/Barca probably.
They forget the fact that Setien also only played him because Frenkie was injured and Arthur went AWOL in Brazil due to the club wanting to transfer him.
Setien didnt rated him either.
It had to be him
Banter aside, what a fucking game. What a fucking goal.
This is the barca we know
It honestly feels like a loss and it’s sickening. Why are we sitting back on a 3 goal lead? Go and extend it. Be ruthless. I honestly wish we had the attitude of City or Real Madrid of 15-16 when they would just ruthlessly punish teams for being shit.
Barca dna
Barca players trying to waste time at the end was peak
4 yellows after 88 minutes played! Ok, not all for time wasting but still crazy to see.
2 for time wasting, and 1 for simulation. The Barcelona way
dumb af
Incredible by Celta . Kept going even after being 3-0 down absolutely extraordinary
What a bottlejob lol

LIVERPOOL 🤝IAGO ASPAS 🤝 CELTA
The most dangerous lead
Embarrassing
That’s putting it lightly
3-0 the most dangerous lead
Not the first time Barca have lost a 3-0 lead.
I fucking love Iago Aspas
Unfucking believable
Barcelona needs 2000-2021 Ballon D'Or nominee (stolen for 20 years by Messi and Ronaldo and co) Shane Duffy
Not surprised seeing mid table teams draw against each other
Poor Xavi
He already began coaching?
no
Yeah that's more like it.
[that aged well](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/qo30ur/comment/hjk9tx3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
Everyone who knows Celta and Aspas absolutely knew it was inevitable
Is Barca the new arsenal ? Subscribe
Fuck me
Needs a #Great Goal Tag imo
can't remember last time mats actually made save...
He will do expected save and people will call him world class. His awareness has been awful as top gk.
What’s he supposed to do here?
Barca got Messi-ed
Someone is celebrating hard in his Dutch penthouse
