In his first start against Real Betis in this new phase, this Wednesday against Getafe, Lo Celso put together a great performance: in 78 minutes of play he scored 2 goals, created 4 chances in scoring, completed 3 out of 4 dribbles, had 84% passing accuracy (37/44), won 7 duels out of 12, received 4 fouls, made 5 recoveries and made a clearance.
In his previous spell, Lo Celso achieved just one double in LaLiga, on April 7, 2019 against Villarreal, in 46 games.

In 2018/19, Lo Celso did not score his first Liga goal until his ninth game, in a 3-4 victory over FC Barcelona,
