- Borja Iglesias came up with a phenomenal performance against Barcelona. He scored a hat-trick and is also coming in after scoring a goal in Celta’s last league game against Villarreal. The 32-year-old is going to play a crucial role in the attacking front for his side. He can cause serious problems for opponents’s defence.
