There was little riding on Valencia’s final-day trip to Celta Vigo with both sides’ LaLiga status already secure for next season.
But the game exploded into life with two second-half penalties and the latter seeing a rare top-flight milestone surpassed.
Alberto Marí restored Los Ches’ lead from the spot, barely 10 minutes after Iago Aspas had levelled things up for the hosts.
The striker’s well-taken kick etched his name into the record books as the scorer of the league’s 1,000th goal in 2023/24.
As per Opta’s stat, the last time that figure was reached in a single campaign was way back in 2017/18, at the end of the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry.
