    Skies a shot from top of the box. Sat up pretty for him, plenty of time but skies it. Has to do better.

    I don't get Galavision in HD so all of the players are already indistinguishable. This should be bonus fun.

    Weah and Edouard should have a bet, the loser of which has to dye his hair like Zardes. For my benefit, please.

    Timo would have scored a field goal if this were gridiron.

    That's harsh. He had to knock down clearance and get off the shot with a defender running toward him. Would have been a stunner if he hit it.

    He's playing as 10, since no one has mentioned that.

    62- gets ball in own half and goes on break, poor pass to other team.

    63- similar play in valencia half and plays nice ball into his twin.

    Well, Valencia is happy keeping it like this, so they have retreated and just press Celtic so they cannot enter their area.

    Which is dangerous, Valencia is one of the few La Liga teams that can mount a lightning-fast counter.

    PS: Meh. Celtic is unable to keep the ball longer than 15 seconds, so Valencia decided to have it again.

    Super active in middle of field. Dropping into center of midfield to get the ball and cycle it. Had really nice touch to hold off defender and cycle it.

    Then cant handle heavy ball played in. Came in hot.

    Then gets stripped sitting on it a bit too long.

    Weah on the doorstep and it gets cleared right before he can get a swing at it.

    Very nice play by Edouard BTW.

    70- almost gets on end of scrappy stuff in the 6 yard box. He's very active.

    In three days Valencia has to play Espanyol, a must-win if they want to keep any hope of making the next Europa League.

    In three days Celtic plays Kilmarnock, and even if they lost they'd still be guaranteed a spot in the next Champions.

    It makes sense that at this point Valencia is not leaving first gear.

    Good combo play by timo. Just a tad heavy on return ball to toljan. Kid is putting in top effort today.

    I'm sorry, I knew they wouldn't call it, but that is quite clearly a foul, and by the letter of the law, a penalty.

    Totally should've been penalty for weah. Gets shoved in back as hes about to head the ball.

    Two crosses in back to back. One hard and low, next one good but at keeper.

    Yep, that was a PK not given on Timo. Push in the area.

    Edouard ruins another counter by keeping the ball too long. He's a bit selfish, but otherwise has provided some dangerous spark to Celtic.

    I know people here are going to say he looked like Neymar out there, but IMO he was only ok. Edouard was more influential.

    I'll take "only OK" in European competition at 18 years old. BigSoccer tends to forget it, but my guess is he's not done getting better.

    Overall, no problem with his play today. Couldve done better on his chance, 1-2 misplaced passes, but the good was how involved he was. That was all on him, being proactive and chasing to his teammate to receive the ball. Looked to turn and make things happen and crashed the box well. Overall, he showed well.
