In their final La Liga match of the season, Celta Vigo secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Sevilla. The decisive goal came from Ilaix Moriba, in what was likely his final appearance for the Vigo side.
The standout performer was academy product Fer López. He flourished in his new midfield role, displaying exceptional ball control, physical deployment, and technical quality throughout the match. Although he missed a clear-cut chance to score, his overall influence was the highlight of the evening.
Full-back Javi Rueda also impressed, particularly in the first 45 minutes, where he dominated the flank against Suazo. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Radu earned praise for a clean sheet, highlighted by a crucial reflex save to deny Alexis Sánchez. Marcos Alonso provided stability at the back, managing the game with ease.
Despite the win, Iago Aspas and Borja Iglesias found it difficult to capitalize on their opportunities in the final third. Manager Claudio Giráldez used the fixture to assess squad depth as the club looks toward the next campaign, giving opportunities to younger players and those potentially entering their final days at the club.
