The home of Celtic on BBC Sport online. Includes the latest news stories, results, fixtures, video and audio.
A really decent performance. Outstanding in the first half. The goal from Kyogo was stunning. Liam Scales, Daizen Maeda & Matt O'Riley were also excellent. Certainly some grounds for believing we are making progress.: It was a great performance but it highlights the need for a new left-back. Greg Taylor is to blame for both goals, he was turned inside out for the penalty and didn't step up when the Atletico player over ran the ball just before the cross.
"They were fully deserving of at least a point and but for a little bit better play in and around the box it could have been all three. Celtic scored more than once in a Champions League game for the first time since September 2017 v Anderlecht , having not netted more than once in any of the previous 12 games .
Managers Diego Simeone and Brendan Rodgers had an awkward exchange after the final whistle in Celtic's 2-2 Champions League draw, with the Argentine seeming uninterested in a handshake.Former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill believes the penalty Atletico Madrid were awarded was "soft" and that the equaliser "drained" Rodgers' side.
The first half of this thrilling encounter was up there with some of the most compelling in some time. “This is the greatest competition in football so you’re playing against the best players and the best managers, so you almost have to deliver an almost perfect performance to get the three points,” Taylor said.
"A lot of us last year it was our first experience of the Champions League, and we learned the hard lessons of that. First two games, the performances have been close but we’ve not gave the full 90 minute performance and we know we need to do that sooner rather than later."Off the back of their most impressive performance of the season, Celtic have an opportunity to take a seismic step forward by claiming their biggest scalp in years this evening.
But though Celtic Park’s previous fortress-like quality has diminished, the home team has within its ranks players who can also produce moments of class: Matt O’Riley is at the top of his game and will surely relish the chance to pit himself against a higher standard of opposition, Callum McGregor is not out of place in even the loftiest company and with Kyogo now off the mark in the Champions League and hitting his 60th Celtic goal at the weekend, his confidence will be high.
No side has had fewer shots in the Champions League this season than Atletico Madrid . However, with four goals scored from these 16 shots, their 25% shot conversion rate is the highest of any side in the competition this term. The first leg in Glasgow remains infamous, with three Atletico players sent off and seven others booked in a 0-0 draw.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers wants his players to learn from the pain of their Champions League defeat against Lazio when they host Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. "Adversity is some of the best learning that you have and the pain of was numbing at the end. I don’t want to be taking condolences after games of football, I respect the level that we’re at.Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has been talking to the media before his side's Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid at Parkhead on Wednesday.
Believes they have to take something from the game if they want to realistically still be playing in Europe after Christmas, but that doesn’t alter their mindset: “We go into every game to win”.
