Andre Silva says RB Leipzig MUST beat Celtic to keep their hopes alive.
The Portuguese striker says they’ll need a miracle to qualify from Group F if they don’t pick up three points against the Hoops on Wednesday night. The Bundesliga outfit lost their opening two European games to Shakhtar and Real Madrid but yesterday had the perfect warm-up to the Celtic showdown with a thumping 4-0 home win over Bochum.
Silva insists they can’t afford another slip-up against Ange Postecoglou ’s side if they want to progress in the competition. With Celtic on one point after a draw with Shakhtar on match day two, the 26-year-old claims it’ll be a scrap for second spot in the section behind the Spanish giants. Silva said: “After our first two Champions League games, this is like a final for us. If we want to have a chance of qualifying, we’re obliged to beat Celtic.
