Vicente Guaita - Earns clean sheetGuaita recorded two saves and secured a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

ImpactGuaita stood firm Sunday for Celta Vigo, turning aside both shots that troubled his net to earn his sixth clean sheet of the season (21 appearances, 20 starts). Since being forced to face 15 shots on target and allowing four goals to Real Madrid earlier in March, Guaita and the Celta Vigo defense have rebounded admirably. Over the last two matches Guaita has faced just six shots, conceded once and earned a clean sheet. Guaita's next test should come as Celta Vigo travel to take on a Real Betis attack that has scored 36 times this season over 30 matches.

Ivan Balliu - Attempts four crossesBalliu registered four crosses (one accurate) and one clearance in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Celta Vigo.

ImpactBalliu attempted to influence the match from the flanks, whipping in four crosses (one accurate) in Rayo Vallecano's 0-0 draw with Celta Vigo on Sunday. On the campaign, Balliu has crossed the ball into the box with less frequency (2.15 crosses per appearance in 2023-2024; 2.84 crosses per appearance in 2022-2023). However, Balliu has been more clinical with his crossing attempts, completing 24% of his crosses in 2023-2024 in comparison to his rate of 20% accurate crosses in 2022-2023.

Óscar Valentín - Strong defensive performanceOscar Valentin registered six tackles (three won), one clearance and five interceptions in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Celta Vigo.

ImpactValentin's performance was integral to Ray Vallecano earning a point from their 0-0 draw with Celta Vigo on Sunday. Valentin has been fully restored to the starting XI since serving a one-match ban for yellow card accumulation. He had started and made a significant impact in the holding-midfielder role in the two matches since his return, accumulating 14 tackles (nine won), eight interceptions, five clearances and two blocks. While Valentin is a stalwart defender in the midfield, his one goal in 96 career La Liga appearances show that he does not offer much in terms of an attacking threat.

Pathe Ciss - Imperative in clean sheet effortCiss had two tackles (two won), five clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Celta Vigo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 44th minute.

ImpactCiss played his part to stymie the Celta Vigo attack during Ray Vallecano's 0-0 draw Sunday. He also recorded one block, adding to his aforementioned defensive production. Ciss was included in the starting XI for just the second time in Rayo Vallecano's previous five matches. Over that span, he's created a chance, made seven tackles (five won), two interceptions and 10 clearances.
