For the third consecutive game, Celta had
managed to overcome a loss with a home victory, and yesterday was heroic. Once again, they arrive to the international
break in good shape and spirit, and they look ahead to two weeks of smiles and
good spirit before their game against Real Madrid.
Nothing seemed to start well for Celta, as,
just minutes before the game started, Javi Varas sustained a finger injury,
ruling him out of the game. Sergio Alvarez, with whom he was warming up, had to
take the starter spot without even being able to warm up properly, and Ruben
Blanco had to come down from his seat in the stadium to be ready to sit on the
bench as a substitute.
