Post match thoughts from inside Celtic Park as both Celtic and RB Leipzig managers and players have their say…
RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose praises Celtic
RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose reckons Celtic were very unlucky in Dortmund and knew that they would be much better against his side. “I’m not surprised [at how they’ve recovered], and even in Dortmund they had some chances. Dortmund scored easy goals, two penalties. [Celtic] were really unlucky and then we in Germany know how it would go in Dortmund if they come in a flow, in a run.
“So knew about the quality of Celtic, [their]possession game is top, really good and fast players. We saw today all what we expected. The first five minutes showed everything [in terms of]what they tried to play.”
Marco Rose reckons that the decisive moments in the match for his team were the couple of opportunities that his players had at 1-0 to double their lead. Instead Celtic came roaring back with two goals from former RB Leipzig player Nicolas Kühn before the break to give Celtic the lead.

“But again, from the 10th to the 35th minute, we had it all in our hands. If you miss to score a second goal and you concede one, it can get difficult here with this atmosphere. A really good team, a top coach and disappointing for us,” Rose said.
