Didn't see an 'official' match thread so thought I'd start one. Apologies if someone already has. Nervous as **** about tonight. I keep going back to the first match at home against Benfica and thinking "if only..." Nevertheless, having predicted we'd get pumped out on five points, Celtic have already exceeded my expectations and we can look forward to European football after Christmas, whether it be the Europa League or, fingers crossed, the Champions League last 16. Gonna be a long night! EDIT. Team news: Forster; Lustig, Ambrose, Wilson, Izaguirre; Commons, Brown, Kayal, Mulgrew; Samaras, Hooper Subs: Zaluska, Matthews, Ledley, Rogne, Miku, Lassad, Watt
benfica are all over barca reserves, just saved by the inside of the post barca defence was already weak this year, only 3 players in their starting 11 who get anywhere near the first team, puyol, song and villa not looking good
There it is. Izzy made a run he didn`t need to and when we gave them the ball he was badly out of position.
Pretty poor stuff from Celtic. Just hope Barca do us a favour but from what people are saying it doesn't sound too promising.
stats from barca game barca 1 shot on goal 1 on target benfica 11 shots on goal 6 on target could easily be 3 up at half time from ive seen, the barca team out is a joke, knew this was going to be the situation anyway
Izzy had to make that run imo. NowhatImean Ari was their best player over there and that emunike was pish but got the 2 goals. I can see now why they have a brazillion pound release clause on him.
messi nearly scored there, took it round the keeper, cut back and tried to lob it, keeper somehow got back and saved it on the line messi off injured
