How Celtic’s Champions League capitulation unfolded

Often, extra time is a damp squib these days, particularly in big games.

Neither side wants to lose, and both will be happy to take a chance on penalties.

LASK were not in this mood.

With 11 minutes still to play, Luke McCowan won the ball back for his side, but he was far too pedestrian in his decision-making, and he was dispossessed.

Another Adeniran goal from outside the box punished Celtic yet again.

The Champions League now felt like a distant dream, in stark contrast to the tangible next step of earlier on.

Viljami Sinisalo got down to make a huge save to deny Adeniran a hat-trick from the spot, but a few minutes later it meant nothing.

120 minutes. 5-4 on aggregate.

Celtic’s humiliation complete.

“It looked to me as if Celtic were exhausted,” former Celtic manager Neil Lennon told Amazon Prime. “Fragile in duels. It only looked like there would be one winner.

“Huge credit to LASK. They battered Celtic tonight, physically and on the football side. It could have been more.”
