No kit and no boots! Aspas says Celta Vigo happy with Pumas draw in Mexico

Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas says the players were positive after their 1-1 draw in Mexico against Pumas.

Celta wore non official shirts and boots purchased on the day after their luggage was lost during the flight from Spain.

Aspas said, “Everything has been inconvenient to start the game. We have come together and tried to do well against a very difficult opponent. It was raining, the pitch was heavy, the height... a lot of inconveniences, but we came to work, to do it well, and a draw is enough for us to continue improving and working with confidence.

"Since we arrived the Mexican fans were already waiting for us at the airport, at the hotel, at the stadium, when the line-up came out... it is something to be proud of and we hope to be able to repeat it in the future."
