It's the plum draw every Celtic fan was craving. Moritz Jenz admits he’s in the same boat when it comes to heading to the Bernabeu. Real Madrid was the one the Hoops all wanted and their wish was granted in Istanbul at last night’s glitzy draw. RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk will be formidable in Group F as well but there’s only one name on everyone’s minds this morning.
Parkhead chiefs will need Willie Wonka to handle the golden tickets for the Bernabeu but Jenz reckons Celtic’s rivals might not feel the same about coming to Glasgow. The big defender believes there will be some of the world’s best will be thrilled at the prospect of walking out at a packed Parkhead. But they might also be terrified.
Jenz has heard all about the famous atmosphere in the east end of the city when the great and the good come to town. He knows about Celts taking down the then reigning champions AC Milan in these parts a few years ago. Jenz doesn’t need to be told about the night Tony Watt raced through to sink Barcelona and nearly take the roof off the rafters.
