The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[paddyjohn]

Real Madrid will tear a load of teams apart. No disgrace in getting beat by them. We score one of the 3 chances and who knows.

Doesn't look for Celtic.

Definitely not a good look

[general_lee]

No shame in going down to probably the best team on the planet, Celtic could have easily had a couple of goals in the first half. Really positive play throughout. Top sides will punish any lapses though, properly knocked the wind out of Celtic.

Crazy to think Madrid are 5th favourites to win it again, would be like making Kerry 5th favourites for the All-Ireland.

[JimStynes]

If only a few of those chances went in in that first half!!

[JPGJOHNNYG]

Celtic were unlucky not to have scored which may have changed things. Real just so clinical in that second half. Still they played well you can't complain. That would have been a 7-0 hammering with previous managers

[Itchy]

Celtic played very well but lose 3 nil. Few lads just not tuned in defensively, you get away with that in domestic league but not at this level.

[Main Street]

Outclassed in the 2nd half and with old dog Modric showing ageless class. Nevertheless Celtic can compete for 2nd or 3rd spot. Beaten but not bowed.

Celtic losing nothing in defeat, had a cut, level for 60 mins, Reals class shone through. We are a good team on a progressive curve, but Real different gravy, as the very best in Europe can testify. Credit where its due, and the ovation Celtic gave to Modric and Junior on their replacing said a lot to the class of our support.

The level of passing under pressure from Real was something else in that second half, physically bigger and fitter bar Modric and Hazzard but plenty to be  positive about despite the loss.

3 chances of worth and none taken. They deserved a goal at the very least

[Gael80]

Celtic were excellent but Real paced themselves and even if Celtic had scored beforehand the last half hour was going to be a challenge. It was a good night for the club and looked a great occasion. There would be small margins between Celtic, Shakhtar and Leipzig playing in the the CL or EL so the next four games will be a realisitc test of where this Celtic team are in Europe, hopefully they pick up enough points to progress.

What happened here?

[imtommygunn]

Tuchel is at the end of his reign I would say is what happened.

Tuchel is at the end of his reign I would say is what happened.

I would normally say yes but they have a different boss to previous, who would they be able to bring in? The Celtic manager?
