Benitez’s Celta are winless but have shown signs of improvement with solid performances.
Delighted by the party atmosphere to mark the club’s centenary, Celta keeper Villar said: “We couldn’t ask for more from these fans, it’s wonderful to play in front of them.”
When asked about conceding a penalty for an alleged foul against Rodrigo, he said, “I touched the ball, I don’t know how it looked on camera.”
