On Tuesday, in the Champions League, RB Leipzig gained a spectacular 2-0 victory over Celtic. Celtic’s Champions League campaign is over after this defeat, and their road to Europa League is also hanged. It was Celtic’s seventh home Champions League group-stage defeat in a row.
Ange Postecoglou, Celtic’s coach, said I want the players to get the rewards for their endeavors, I think we are close to becoming a very good team at this level, and that process can not be fast-tracked.
The Celtics desire to play on the front foot here because they have signed a defensive midfielder, Oliver Abildgaard, for this occasion, but he was not deemed fit enough to start. Hatate and Matt O’Riley, both play well in the final third than the opening one, but in this match, they had to play as anchors.
Postecoglou said missed chances, and it’s the story of our campaign so far. Moreover, he said It’s the hardest part of the game, and It’s about experience and composure at this level.
The Celtic was without their influential Jota and their captain, Callum McGregor due to injury. Celtic’s Joe Hart also put effort to stop Leipzig’s goals as he produced a fine save to deny the shot from Christopher Nkunku.
