The Offical Glasgow Celtic thread

[Milltown Row2]

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.

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.

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?

I thought you were talking about the game rather than the whole competition 

[illdecide]

A bit of an anti climax in the end but a great nights experience all the same. Ground was rocking...Dunno what it looked like or sounded like from the TV but being there was great. I think we put a lot of effort into the first half and seemed to tire as soon as first goal went it, it was like it zapped their legs from energy. Real are a class outfit and as some of you have already said they'll be hard to beat, we had McGregor's post and Maeda chance at start of second half which in games like this you will get 3-4 chances a game and you have to take 50% of them to stand a chance and we didn't.

Was talking to Chris Sutton this morning at 5:30am in Glasgow Airport (a wee Starbucks together), we had a good chat about the game and kinda had the same remarks as everyone else. He said you get away with your odd mistake in Scotland but not against these guys, they punish you and are ruthless. We don't need a pundit to tell us all that we know that.

If we get more pics from battle of bogside up and palestine it might mask the fact that its the most corrupt sporting organisation in the world and the actual antithesis of the letist politics that large swathes of the support espouse to.

Yous have all been duped.

Was a good game for the neutral, but Chris in fairness to him could see the energy levels dropping and mentioned it way before the goal, When I seen the team Real put out I fancied a big win for the champions tbf, but Celtic need to approach all the games like that home and away, otherwise they'll be bottom of the group.

[bennydorano]

Maeda doesn't do it for me at all, when I saw him coming on I automatically thought Kyogo mustn't be fit but then to throw him on late on showed differently, so I think that was a big mistake.

Coming out of the group is very very doable and last night doesn't change anything, could see us getting a point in Madrid especially if they're qualified already.

It goes around in circles

Games like that will bring on those players leaps. Abada had a half chance in the first half that he snapped at, probably due to the occasion and the opposition. In the SPL he'd have been confident to do something more with it.

Playing against that high level of passing must exhaust you eventually. The passing for Hazard's goal was excpetional.
