Champions League power rankings: Man City look unbeatable, boss in last chance saloon, Gunners with it all to do
The Champions League returns over the next two weeks with the round of 16 second leg ties. Big guns and Manchester City and Real…
One of the finest achievements occurred the other night with Celtic defying history and winning a UEFA Champions League tie against a well-oiled Russian team challenging for the title mid-way through their season.
Having never won a European tie after losing the first leg, and failing to win any away European game in 23 attempts, it ranks this 2-0 victory as one of Celtic’s finest.
Consider, as well, that the Scottish season is yet to commence and that Tony Mowbray still needs to settle in, along with his new backroom staff and players.
However, it only gets Celtic to the final qualifying play-off before the Champions League stage and this time they will be up against it as they’ll be facing teams of the calibre of Arsenal, Lyon and Athletico Madrid, amongst others.
Jubilation in August is not a bad way to kick off another exciting football season around the globe and I am sure the passionate fans of Romanian outfit Politehnica Timisoara are feeling the same as Celtic fans.
The world is a better place this morning.
