Celtic head to Germany for their Champions League Round of 16 second-leg clash against Bayern Munich, trailing 2-1 from the first leg.
📌 The Challenge – Can Celtic Do It?
🟢 Celtic’s European Journey So Far:
🔹 Brendan Rodgers’ side has exceeded expectations in Europe this season, navigating a tough group to reach this stage.
🔹 They’ve shown resilience, including a hard-fought 2-1 defeat in Glasgow where they created chances.
🔹 They must now win in Munich – a stadium where few visiting teams have tasted success.
🔴 Bayern Munich’s Strength at Home:
🔹 A European powerhouse, Bayern Munich rarely lose at home in the Champions League.
🔹 They boast one of the most lethal attacks in world football, led by Harry Kane, Leroy Sané, and Jamal Musiala.
🔹 Despite a dip in domestic form, their Champions League pedigree is undeniable.
🌍 Where Would It Rank Among Celtic’s Greatest European Results?
If Celtic win and eliminate Bayern Munich, it could be their most significant European triumph since lifting the European Cup in 1967. But how does it compare to some other famous nights?
✅ Celtic 2-1 Barcelona (2012) – A stunning defensive masterclass at Parkhead against a Barca side featuring Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta.
✅ Liverpool 0-2 Celtic (2003) – A legendary UEFA Cup quarter-final triumph at Anfield on the road to Seville.
✅ Celtic 1-0 Manchester United (2006) – Nakamura’s famous free-kick secured a last-16 spot in the Champions League.
✅ Juventus 4-3 Celtic (2001) – A heroic attacking display in Turin against one of Italy’s finest teams.
✅ Leeds 0-2 Celtic (1970 European Cup semi-final) – A colossal away victory against Don Revie’s Leeds United, booking a spot in the final.
🔎 Would a win in Munich surpass all of these? Given the scale of the opponent and the modern-day financial gulf, it just might.
🔮 Score Predictions – What Will Happen?
🔹 Brendan Rodgers: "We've made great strides this season, and whatever happens, the players should be proud."
🔹 PLZ Soccer Panel Predictions:
Peter Martin: 4-1 Bayern
Alison McConnell: 3-1 Bayern
Tam McManus: 4-1 Bayern
