The match, scheduled for 6:30 PM at the Anexo with free admission, promises to showcase young talent. Players like Valentín Pezzolesi and Rafa Cruz will be key figures for the yellow team, which will play the return leg next Thursday, May 14, in A Madroa.
Other quarter-final matchups include Valencia-Granada, Real Madrid-Athletic Club de Bilbao, and Tenerife-FC Barcelona. Nuez's squad was crowned champions of the Canarian Group with an impressive record of 26 wins and four draws, although in the previous two editions, they were eliminated at this stage by Betis.
In the Copa del Rey, the team was knocked out by Barcelona in the quarter-finals. If UD Las Palmas overcomes Celta, they will face the winner of the clash between Barcelona and CD Tenerife in the semi-finals. Celta, for its part, comes from a strong performance in its group and reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
An attendance of around 600 fans is expected at the stadium. Following the recent salvation of Las Palmas Atlético, it is now the turn of the U19 team. The addition of a technical manager in the final matchdays was crucial for the team's recovery. Rafa Cruz has been called up by the first team coach, and Valentín Pezzolesi has already played five matches with the senior squad, making his debut in February 2025.
