Valencia CF has achieved a significant victory against Celta de Vigo, a result that allows them to maintain a four-point difference from the relegation zone and momentarily ensures their mathematical safety. This win also enables Carlos Corberán’s team to cut the gap with Alavés, their closest rival, to three points. The team’s victory was largely due to the efforts of players like Javi Guerra, who scored the winning goal, and Luis Rioja, who scored the first goal and assisted in the second.
The performance of Luis Rioja was particularly notable, and it caught the attention of influencer and streamer Papi Gavi, who praised Rioja on Twitter, saying, “I want eleven like him, honor.” Papi Gavi also emphasized the importance of Rioja staying with Valencia CF, stating, “Luis Rioja should, you have to withdraw at Valencia CF.” Rioja’s contributions to the team have been significant, with five goals and assists in 21 LaLiga games, in addition to two Cup meetings.
