Ange Postecoglou insists he never fears the worst as he delivered a 'really proud' message to his Celtic stars.
The Hoops rounded off their Champions League campaign with a lesson on playing at the very top level by Champions League holders Real Madrid as they hit the Scottish champions for five at the Bernabeu. VAR played its part early on with Los Blancos awarded two penalties inside the opening 20 minutes with Moritz Jenz and Matt O'Riley punished for handball. Luka Modric and Rodrygo made no mistake from 12-yards as Joe Hart was given no chance with either effort.
Celtic then had a spot-kick opportunity of their own but Josip Juranovic's effort was saved by Thibaut Courtois. The visitors created a number of other opportunities but couldn't make the big chances count with Real punishing them with three further goals through Marco Asensio, Vinicius JR and Federico Valverde as the La Liga giants landed top spot in the group. Jota appeared from the bench - like he did on Sunday against Livingston - and he gave the away fans something to cheer about as he scored a stunning free-kick in a moment he will never forget.
