The 2021-22 campaign saw Os Celestes, under the guidance of Eduardo Coudet, secure an 11th-place finish in La Liga, a season of consolidation highlighted by a perfectly even goal difference. The defining narrative, however, was the sensational form of club legend Iago Aspas. His 17 league goals not only won him the prestigious Zarra Trophy but also saw him cement his legacy as Celta's all-time leading scorer. The year remains unforgettable for the dramatic 3-3 comeback against Barcelona, where Aspas scored a thrilling 96th-minute equaliser to send the Balaídos faithful into ecstasy.
