Champions League, Group G, 7th Nov 2012
Celtic 2 Victor Wanyama, Tony Watt
Barcelona 1 Lionel Messi
Goalkeeper Fraser Forster was the hero for Celtic last night as he saved two crucial shorts from Alexis Sanchez and Lionel Messi. This massive victory for Celtic was just one day after as they celebrated their 125th anniversary.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon said “It’s right up there, one of the proudest nights of my career,” He also added “It was a monumental effort on the anniversary of the club. I wanted them to do justice tonight and they’ve surpassed that and beaten the best team in the world.”
Barcelona had as much as 67 percent of possession in the match with seven attempts on goal out of which two hit the frame of the goal.
Vilanova said "Congratulations to Celtic and their fans. The credit is theirs,"
