Aspas Solidifies Status as Ter Stegen’s ‘Achilles Heel

In the clash between FC Barcelona and Celta de Vigo, Iago Aspas once again asserted himself as the true ‘Achilles Heel’ of Marc-André ter Stegen. After an early goal from Robert Lewandowski, Celta de Vigo leveled the score, courtesy of Iago Aspas, who capitalized on an assist from Óscar Mingueza and a deflection off Jules Koundé. This goal marked the 10th time Aspas found the net against Ter Stegen, reaffirming his status as the German goalkeeper’s persistent nemesis.

Iago Aspas has consistently excelled against FC Barcelona, tallying a total of 11 goals and providing 4 assists in 20 encounters. The only goal that eluded Ter Stegen came against Jasper Cillessen in a 2-0 victory during the 2018/2019 season.

Aware of the natural decline in his speed in the later years of his career, Aspas has transformed into a playmaker, often dropping from the forward position to the midfield. His football intelligence and exceptional vision allow him to distribute key passes effectively.

Iago Aspas is a true football enthusiast, known for closely following even minor league matches. As Vigo celebrates its centenary, the city looks to its football prince to avoid any major disappointments on the field.
