Celta Vigo announced on the club's website that Ionuț Radu suffered an injury to his right leg. At first glance, it resembles the injury suffered by Mihai Popa from CFR Cluj, the goalkeeper initially summoned by Mircea Lucescu and who was eventually replaced by Căbuz. Thorough investigations are forthcoming.

Ionuț Radu helped by his colleagues to leave the field after taking four goals from Alaves

Celta Vigo started the home game against Alaves perfectly, and in the 37th minute they were already 3-0. Jutgla opened the scoring from Javier Rodriguez's pass in the 19th minute. Hugo Alvarez doubled the home team's advantage in the 27th minute from Jutgla's pass. The scorer of the first goal made the “double” in the 37th minute, and the hosts seemed close to a new success in La Liga.

The first goal that Ionuț Radu scored came right before the break: a filtering pass left Toni Martinez free in the box, and he executed Radu from 2 meters. The Romanian could not do more.

After the break, Alaves scored once more through Angel Perez. He took good advantage of a mistake by a defender from Celta Vigo, again Radu, out of the gate to help his colleague, tried to clear, but Angel Perez shot too well to the far corner.

10 minutes after this goal, Ionuț Radu accused muscle problems, after coming out to a ball high in the box. Claudio Giraldez sent the reserve to the warm-up, in the idea that Radu can no longer continue.

The Romanian goalkeeper got up, took the match to the end, but took two more goals! He limped to the end and was carried off by his colleagues. He scored 2 more goals during this period. He got 4 out of 6 squares. He made 9 of 11 long passes wrong, and the overall pass accuracy was 73% (27 of 37).

In the 3-3 goal, which came in the 74th minute, Toni Martinez shot from about 25 meters just past the bar. Ionuț Radu, immediately after accusing the muscle problems, dived, but did not manage to reach the Spaniard's foot shot.

At the 3-4 goal, Rebbach escaped very well on the counterattack, he took the Celta side defender out of the game with a dribble, and Radu came out to meet him. Rebbach shot over the hands of the Romanian goalkeeper who dived.
