LAZIO’S Argentinian striker Joaquin Correa reckons that the Italian giants were robbed in Glasgow when Celtic came from behind to record a famous 2-1 Europa League victory. And Correa reckons that Lazio will get their revenge on Thursday when the sides meet again at the partly closed Stadio Olimpico.
Celtic will have a huge support in Rome for the match with around 15,000 expected to be at the game to roar the Hoops on. But the Argentinian, who scored the winner for Lazio against AC Milan in the San Siro last night, reckons that this time there will be a very different outcome.
“We have been playing really well for a few weeks now and this was just the latest big win for us,” Correa said after the historic 2-1 win, the first time in 30 years that they have beaten AC Milan at the San Siro.
“Even when we lost, like in Glasgow against Celtic, we actually played really well. We didn’t deserve to lose, but we have a chance to make up for it this week.
“Football can be like that sometimes where you are playing well and you still go away with nothing. But if we keep playing like that, we will win far more than we lose.
“I think I am improving every day as a player here and of course it helps a great deal when you work with a striker like Ciro Immobile.
“I have some amazing team mates at the club too. We are all very determined and ready to fight for Lazio.
“It’s really important now we keep this run going and that means defeating Celtic this week to give ourselves a chance of qualifying in the Europa League,” the Lazio striker told Italian media, as reported by Scottish Sun.
And his striking partner Ciro Immobile has also been talking about the game against Celtic.
“I think I am going to be part of a success story at Lazio. We are in the hunt with three other teams for a Champions League place.
“And we see the Europa League as very important now. It’s actually a tournament that fascinates me. We are not in a good position and we absolutely must beat Celtic this week to get back in with a chance of qualification,” Daily Record reported.
