Celtic star Jota on his 'very emotional' Champions League moment and enjoying the 'dream'

Celtic star Jota admits he was very emotional when he heard the famous Champions League anthem for the first time.

Ange Postecoglou's men are competing at Europe's top table after winning back the Premiership crown from Rangers as part of a domestic double in the first campaign under the Aussie boss. Automatic group stage qualification paired the Hoops up with Spanish giants and current holders Real, Shakhtar Donetsk and RB Leipzig.

The Scottish champions opened up with a 3-0 defeat at Parkhead to Carlo Ancelotti's side - but had their chances at 0-0 as they impressed with their attacking style. It was then a share of the spoils away to Shakhtar in matchday two with first points on the board. Jota has dreamed of the Champions League since he was a child and says it was a proud moment for himself and his family as he walked out on his debut. It's an amazing experience that he hopes will arrive year after year as he opened up on playing at Europe's top level.
