2008-02-20: Celtic 2-3 Barcelona, Champions League |

Version 7 - view current page


Quick Review
When playing against a side of the quality of Barcelona, there can be little that you can do. However, Celtic came out fighting and took the lead twice, but Barcelona were too strong for us. Truthfully, some basic errors by defenders cost us a draw or potential win. Onwards to the next leg, but exit looks ominous.

Trivia
  • Robson's first goal for Celtic in Europe
  • No Scott Brown as he was suspended!
  • Caddis' first European Game (did well at Right-back).
