HT. 1-1 Benfica playing well.Salvio owning Celtic single handedly. Matic also having a good game. Andre Almeida was decent. Celtic are fantastic at set pieces. Hence thats how rhey scored on Barca and Benfica, but Celtic look like crap. Sloppy defending, no fluidity to their play, which isn't surprising, they're obvisously playing for a tie.
Jardel replaces Salvio. Great contribution by Salvio. That's the player I remember when he was loaned to us.
Forgot about that, was thinking today was the last game for some reason. Forgot theres one more game to go.
Guys, even if we don't win barca, we are still going to pass the group stage to the round of 16 if Spartak win Celtic
Celtic have 2 midfielders suspended for the Spartak game! Which benefits Spartak and Benfica. PureHeroin is right. Benfica can go through 2 ways. Benfica can LOSE to Barça and go through if Spartak beats Celtic because we're tied to Celtics in points but beat them in Portugal and tied in Glasgow. Or if we tie Barça and Celtic tie or lose to Spartak.
guy's let's not forget that Celtic-Spartak game is in Scotland and Benfica were the only team Spartak got any points out of.
