Champions League: Celtic take German lessons to avert ‘absolute thumping’
Rodgers’ pre-match wish is that the tie remains “alive” when his team arrives in Bavaria next week.
That’s the case, but it might be better.
Maeda bypassed Manuel Neuer and saw an open goal – though from a very keen perspective – Reo Hatate suffered a far The shift from the bat, while Alistair Johnston was saved by the palm of experienced Neuer.
According to Rodgers, the German giant was “happy” at the last whistle.
“The Celtic opportunity, Bayern needs to keep that in mind,” said former Scottish International Pat Nevin on BBC 5 Live.
“They don’t give up, and sometimes football is weird. Anything can happen.”
On Monday afternoon, no one thought the motor would play football. By the 78th minute of this game, few people thought the Celtics had any chance. But we are here.
Rogers added: “We hung on one real side and caused them problems.”
“We are going next week and we will be playing in a great stadium game and we have proven we can play. We have to have a positive mindset.
“We’re still on the tie. It’s just a goal difference. It’s a huge challenge and we know it’s still a possibility.”
