Celta Vigo 4-1 Barcelona: Iago Aspas at the double as Celta thrash Lionel Messi and co

He wasn’t good enough for Liverpool but Iago Aspas was too good for Barcelona on Wednesday night as he scored twice in Celta Vigo’s stunning 4-1 win.
 
Liverpool signed the striker for £7.6m in 2013 but he flopped scoring a solitary cup goal, failing to find the net in 14 league appearances, and learning only the word ‘yes’ as he struggled with the English language.
 
But it was yes! yes! yes! and yes! again for Celta Vigo supporters as they watched their team score four springing the shock of the season so far. They overwhelmed Barcelona with Aspas electric and his partner in crime Nolito also in exceptional form.
 
Barcelona could still take Nolito, a former Barça B forward, back to the Camp Nou when their transfer ban ends in January. This performance will have more than persuaded the doubters he would be worth the 18m buy-out clause. He ran Barça ragged scoring the first and making the second and the third.
 
Messi had the first chance before Barcelona conceded with a shot straight at Celta keeper Sergio Alvarez after Iniesta had burst through and played him in.
 
It was rare foray forward. Barça coach Luis Enrique had promised his players before the game that Celta would come at them at 200 kmph and blow them away if they were not up for the game. And so it came to pass.
