Aspas fumes with Celta Vigo pitch: F*ing f*ing field!

Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas blew a fuse with the state of the pitch during their Copa del Rey quarterfinal defeat to Real Sociedad.

La Real won 2-1 in Vigo with Sheraldo Becker scoring the winner on debut.

On 86 minutes, Aspas sent a corner into the stands and exploded, "F*ing f*ing field!", he shouted before kicking out at the turf.

Celta coach Rafa Benitez later said: "It is a problem, this year it has already happened to us. It is the third time it has been changed. There is a drainage problem and we are trying to solve it but we are going to wait.

"With the good weather it will improve in the next few days. The field didn't help either with those walls or passes that we were trying to make."
