Goal hero Timo Werner reckons Celtic gave Leipzig a black eye - and admits he was relieved to hit the back of the net and quieten down a furious Parkhead atmosphere. Teammate Xaver Schlager, meanwhile, insists Celtic Park was louder and more intimidating than the Bernabeu when they faced Real Madrid.
The Hoops created plenty of chances against Leipzig but couldn't take any of them and ultimately fell to a 2-0 defeat that punctured their Champions League ambitions for another season. Werner opened the scoring late on when he headed in Andre Silva's cross for his first Champions League goal since returning to the club in the summer.
And the striker admits his team were lucky to escape with just a "black eye," but knows it could have been different had he not scored when he did. He said: "We got off with a black eye I think. My goal was exactly what we needed to silence such a stadium with an amazing atmosphere. It's always good to score a goal in front of a crowd like this.
