Greg Taylor and Celtic had to suffer as Celtic’s Champions League campaign came to a difficult end in Madrid.
But the Parkhead ace still loved every second of the bruising Bernabeu experience against Real. Just like he’s loved every other second of the club’s return to the elite level. Taylor doesn’t feel overawed by such situations. He just relishes the heightened challenge. Ange Postecoglou ’s team were like that as an entire unit through their group-stage return.
Realities were harsh. Punishment was ruthless and margins for error locked at zero. But Taylor savoured it and reckons you are in the wrong job if doesn’t float your boat as a footballer. He said: “Definitely. I have loved it to be honest, playing at this level. It is the best competition in the world. It has been challenging, but so fulfilling when you do compete because you are learning at every moment in the game. You are trying to focus, you are trying to reposition, everything. But it is difficult and Wednesday was as difficult as it comes I think. They were right at it. It was a tough night. But, equally, it gives you a taste for it, you want another crack at it.
