THE LATEST UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE NEWS
– Scottish Premier League champions Celtic gained a surprise 2-1 home win over
giants Barcelona in their Champions League match on Wednesday. Two goals
brought the hosts to triumph against a Barça squad that failed to score until
Lionel Messi’s 90th-minute effort.
Celtic looked poised to win with ease against a jaded Barcelona side.
Victor Wanyama fired a header past namesake keeper Victor Valdes. The Spanish side
sought to equalize but failed to create chances.
Tony Watt, coming in as a
substitute, scored Celtic’s second goal seven minutes before time. Messi’s
last-minute goal proved inadequate to lift the Catalans.
