Alistair Johnston has told of how Atletico Madrid toyed with Celtic, who couldn't get near them in the Estadio Metropolitano...
IT was not a night that anyone connected with Celtic will care to remember. But if they don’t face the facts of what happened to them in the Estadio Metropolitano on Tuesday evening, then it will have been a futile endeavour in every conceivable way.of a still slightly punch-drunk Alistair Johnston, who was dazed by the experience of what Atletico Madrid did to him and his teammates, particularly after they went down to 10 men with the dismissal of Daizen Maeda.
“It was frustrating, difficult, because you it feels like you can’t get the ball, you can’t get in their half and it’s wave after wave. “If you don’t take anything away from it, then it really was a wasted night. Win or lose, you have take something from every game to grow as a group.“You could all see what the level is between ourselves and a team that is aiming to win the tournament, never mind get out of the group.
“Unfortunately it wasn’t the first time we’ve done that in this campaign. We’ve made it difficult for ourselves. But we played with nine men at Feyenoord for 25 minutes and looked more solid. Of all the Celtic players who were crestfallen by the manner of their defeat, none were more upset than Maeda himself, who had his shirt over his head as he trudged down the tunnel following the intervention of VAR, leaving his teammates in the trenches.“It was a difficult one for him. He played on that edge, but he needs that edge. He is constantly pressing and running into tackles.
“We are in a difficult position, but I don’t see it as scars. We have the leadership in this team to put it behind us. But we do need to take something positive from Rome.
