A luxury trident

Iago Aspas, Nolito and Santi Mina have become the spearhead of the Vigo attack. Between the three of them there are a total of 24 goals in what has been disputed in the League

No many First Division teams can boast of having a trident director such as the one made up of Iago Aspas, Santi Mina and Nolito, which this Sunday they scored again against Alavés. Celta is fortunate to be able to count on these three footballers who already they add 24 goals this season in the league.

Iago Aspas obviously leads this group. His figures have made recent years dizzying, despite being ignored by Luis Enrique. This championship has 10 goals and has given the same number of assists. A double-double within the reach of very few footballers. Without a doubt, one of the great forwards in LaLiga as his figures show.

But the Moaña striker has found two partners, something that has not happened in recent times. For instance, Santi Mina scores eight goals and two assists, in addition to a goal in the Cup. They are his best numbers as a Celtic. Seeing the door, something that resisted him, he has recovered in 2021. In the league he only exceeds these figures in the 2017-18 season, being then a Valencian player, then he scored a dozen times. The challenge for these last nine days will be to overcome that record.

While, Nolito presents his best numbers since leaving Celta four years ago. Six goals in the league and five assists, in addition to two goals in the Cup. The one from Sanlúcar is signing a more than remarkable season in his second stage in Vigo.

Between the three they add up in Ligto 24 goals of the 38 of the team of Coudet. Almost two thirds of those achieved by the Celts. Seven other players in the squad, led by Brais Méndez with five goals, have also seen the door.
