Hugo Álvarez, born on 2 July 2003 (age 23), is a Spanish right winger whose senior career has been shaped overwhelmingly at Celta Vigo. Wearing the No 23 shirt, he has become a regular part of the Celta picture rather than a name built through a string of moves.
Across five league seasons with Celta Vigo, Álvarez has made 74 league appearances and scored nine league goals. His most productive campaign came in 2024–25, when he scored four times in 26 league appearances, a useful return from wide areas without requiring anyone to reach for the confetti.
In 2026–27, he has made seven La Liga appearances, along with two in the Copa del Rey and two in the Europa League, scoring once in Europe. Across all competitions for Celta Vigo that season, he has 11 appearances and one goal.
Álvarez’s career to date is a Celta Vigo story: a Spanish wide player established there over several seasons, with his best league output coming in 2024–25 and his current role still centred on first-team involvement at Balaídos.
