Aspas and Celta - ''Romeo & Juliet part II"
Moaña, a small municipality in Galicia where Aspas was born.
He was in the Celta Vigo youth academy. On his very second game at a time when Celta were playing in Segunda, he saved Celta from relegation by scoring twice against Alaves at the age of 17.

He was promoted from the reserves for 2009–10. In the 2011–12 season, he netted a career-best 23 league goals, second-best in the competition behind as Celta returned to La Liga after a five-year absence. He was voted the best forward and Zarra Trophy winner for the category.
He scored 12 goals in his first campaign in Spanish top division and he was an essential part in helping Celta escape relegation
He then joined Liverpool FC in the following summer for around 9 millions Euros. He scored and assisted in the very first match for his new club which was a friendly.
He made his first assist in his very very first official PL game.
But he never really got regular chances *

*because of a brilliant attack at Liverpool at that time ( Suarez,Sterling,Coutinho and Suarez). He scored his first goal in a red shirt in FA Cup and never really settled in Merseyside.
Liverpool sent him back to his homeland in Andalusia on loan at Sevilla.
He was the highest scorer in the Copa Del Rey that year but struggled to perform in La Liga scoring just 2 goals whole season.

He returned to Celta following year and from here his love for Celta intensified and a tale of ' Aspas- Barcelona destroyer' started. Ask any Barca fan and he will tell you what a nightmare is this small man from Vigo.
He scored twice at Balaidos against Barca in September*

*He scored and assisted against Barca again in the following season at Balaidos and scored a brace against his team's arch rivals Deportivo.
He saved Celta again, this time in Europa league round of 32 against Shakhtar which helped Celta reaching Europa League semi finals.

In 16-17 season, he reached a personal-best of 19 goals and winning the Zarra Trophy in the process. The following season he was again the league's top-scoring Spaniard at 22, behind only Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suárez overall.
In the 18-19th season, Celta struggled facing relegation battle in the absence of Aspas for 3 months due to injury.
As usual, he saved Celta again scoring against Villarreal in a 3-2 win.
An emotional Aspas cried after saving his club which only shows his love for Celta Vigo.

He didn't perform on the same level as he did last season but he still managed to scored 13 goals in the league so far and again playing a part to save Celta from relegation.
Will Celta survive relegation or not but his free kick against Barca might have ended Barca's title hope

A very technical forward, decent dribbler, great at linkup and very creative number 9, Aspas is definitely an all time Celta's great but he is also a Spanish football veteran who will be treated with respect by Spanish fans now and after his retirement.
Celta's HERO
