They needed to win tonight to win the group, if Leipzig won. But youâd think they could manage it without Modric.

The Croatian manager Dalic will be apoplectic seeing it.
This is pretty embarrassing now. Theyâre not really doing anything too fast, fancy or impressive to get into shooting positions. Celtic looking very loose and ragged.
Jjjjjoooottttaaaaaaaaaa

Jooooottttttaaaaaaaa

Referee blew that up early but canât see UEFA overturning it when itâs Real Madrid.
A lad for Bayern stopped the ball hitting his face by using his hands last night v inter ⊠it was a cracking volley from the inter lad⊠after a check there was no Peno given⊠was worse than Celticâs 2 tonight
I think Celtic can still play their football at this level while being more compact and harder to play against. I guess thatâs the challenge for next season. You canât really have a back four dropping off with a front three pressing in isolation. Too much distance from back to front and not enough mobility or a truly defensive minded player in midfield then either. I donât think Ange rates this Abildgaard chap judging by his (lack of) use of him. You had Real Madrid getting in down the sides way too easily. Like I said, Celtic still played good football in most of the games but the finishing was dire and just a general openness/naĂŻvetĂ© is going to be exposed at the other end.
Cole Palmer starting for City, he is reputed to be a better talent than foden
Yeah the finishing was the big difference between the two teams in most games we played. We werenât clinical enough, we gave other teams too much space, and we probably lack a bit of class at both ends.
Thought Starfelt was good tonight actually. Hart had done very well and wouldnât be in a rush to replace him but heâs not going to win us many games at that elite level these days.
I think McGregor missing was a big loss. Ange has spoken about Abildgaard doing a pre season during the World Cup. Still think heâll be involved after the break. But our shape isnât good against the best teams who can drag our press wide and then play the ball into the middle where we have nobody.
Replacing Rogic hasnât really changed that area defensively the way we might have hoped. OâRiley has had to sit deeper and we donât have real athleticism in there. Hatate is probably our most mobile midfielder but even then he doesnât have 90 minutes in him.
I think we lack some physical attributes in general. Carter Vickers is probably our only elite athlete type. Juranovic is quick but not Frimpong quick. Maeda is quick too but itâs more a volume of sprints than frightening pace all the time. And heâs not strong enough to go with it. But maybe that can be worked on.

No 8 o clock game standing out here. A lot of dead rubbers. Champions league goal show it is
That was an awful decision. Donât know how the ref didnât give it. ManĂ© it was.

Great finish, thereâs goals flying In here
Twas shameful from Mane
I thought OâRiley was very good tonight, which is odd for the defensive midfielder in a 5-goal concession defeat.
