Roger Milla's son impresses on Celta debut

Germain Milla, son of Cameroon legend Roger Milla, impressed on his Celta debut in the Copa del Rey, providing an assist in a 65-minute appearance against Salamanca.

Germain Milla made his competitive debut for Celta's first team in the Copa del Rey against Salamanca, assisting Ferran Jutglà's opening goal in a 0-1 victory. The 18-year-old right-winger, who joined Celta's academy in 2022 via a partnership with the Fursan Hispania academy in Dubai, played 65 minutes before sustaining a knock.

Milla is the son of Roger Milla, the legendary Cameroon striker who won two Africa Cups of Nations and scored four goals at the 1990 World Cup. Germain was born in Switzerland in 2006 and has progressed through Celta's youth system, impressing last season with Celta Fortuna in Segunda División, where he provided two assists in a comeback win against Andorra.

Manager Claudio Giráldez has since integrated him into first-team training and squad selections.

If he recovers from the injury sustained in Salamanca, Milla will feature for Celta Fortuna against Albacete on Monday. He continues to build his case for a permanent promotion to Celta's top-flight squad.
