This Saturday’s La Liga clash between Celta Vigo and Barcelona is more than just another game for Marcos Alonso.
Marcos Alonso Ready for Special Showdown Against Barcelona: “I Have Always Celebrated My Goals”
The former Barcelona defender, now thriving at Celta Vigo, is eager to face his old club, and he’s made it clear: if he finds the back of the net, he won’t hold back on celebrating.
“For me, scoring a goal has always been about the joy of the moment,” Alonso shared in a candid interview ahead of the match.
“It’s a natural reaction. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is.”
The Spaniard’s honesty underscores his professional mindset. After a challenging spell at Barcelona where limited playing time and injuries disrupted his rhythm, Alonso has found a fresh start with Celta Vigo.
“Last year was tough,” he admitted, reflecting on his time at Camp Nou.
“I didn’t have continuity, and injuries made it even more complicated. But I have no regrets. It was an experience that shaped me.”
Alonso’s move to Celta Vigo last summer has reignited his passion for the game. With regular minutes on the pitch, he’s rediscovering his form and confidence. Facing Barcelona, however, is undeniably a special moment for him.
“It’s not just any game,” he said.
“We’re playing against the league leaders, which makes it significant.
We’ve shown in past matches that we can compete against top teams, but we’ve been unlucky with results. Saturday is another chance to prove ourselves.”
Alonso’s willingness to celebrate a potential goal against his former club speaks to his integrity as a professional. While some players may hold back out of respect for past affiliations, he sees things differently.
“I’ve always celebrated my goals,” he emphasized.
“It’s about being present in the moment and giving everything for the team I represent now.”
As Celta Vigo prepares for the high-stakes encounter, Alonso’s words echo his commitment to his current club and his unwavering love for the game.
Saturday’s match promises to be an emotional one, but for Marcos Alonso, it’s all about the football—and the joy of scoring, no matter the opponent.
