Spanish press bow down to Gabri Veiga: “It’s a scandal” | OneFootball

Gabri Veiga’s start to the season has been very positive. With two goals and one assist in four matches, the Spanish midfielder has contributed to FC Porto’s winning run in 2026/27. The player, a youth international for La Roja, has also been drawing attention in Spain, where the newspaper AS highlights his numbers and performances.

“Gabri Veiga is a scandal,” writes the Spanish daily in an article devoted to the footballer. “The player developed through Celta de Vigo’s youth ranks shone in the Portuguese club’s victory, with a remarkable performance and a goal that catapulted Porto to the top of the table. He already has two goals and one assist in three games,” it says.

In the match against Arouca, which ended in an FC Porto win, Gabri Veiga scored the first of the blue-and-white side’s two goals, making a decisive contribution to the Dragons’ ongoing winning streak.

“Gabri Veiga continues to shine at Porto. The player developed through Celta de Vigo’s youth ranks was key in the Portuguese team’s victory, with a goal and a splendid display in midfield. His goal also secured three points and sole possession of first place. Added to his excellent performance was the goal from Borja Sainz, another Spanish player, who sealed the result in the 86th minute. Porto dominated the game and, although Veiga opened the scoring in the 67th minute, they kept their composure and claimed three vitally important points, making it three wins in three league matches.

Veiga has confirmed that his spell in Portugal could allow him to take a big step forward in his career. It is true that it is still too early to draw definitive conclusions, but the Galician has got off to a flying start in the Portuguese league. Last year, he had already played 48 matches and scored six goals, in addition to providing 13 assists. But his start to the 26/27 season is even more promising. Three games, two goals, one assist and three wins, almost unbeatable. In just three games, the Galician has scored almost half as many goals as he managed last season.

In this way, Veiga continues to show that, little by little, he is no longer just a promise for the future and is beginning to become a great player of the present. On the other hand, Porto could hardly have made a better start to their Portuguese league campaign either. Three wins in three games, nine points and zero goals conceded. Without a doubt, hope is alive at the Estádio do Dragão this season”.
