Vinicius Junior reckons Celtic ’s position at the bottom of Group F is not a true reflection of their Champions League quality.
Ange Postecoglou ’s team are heading for Spain to face Real Madrid tomorrow night with their hopes of progression in the competition already at an end. Vinicius Jnr started their demise almost two months ago back on matchday one with an opening goal as his team triumphed 3-0 in Glasgow’s East End. Despite troubling Carlo Ancelotti’s superstars prior to that strike from the Brazilian and performing well in stages of their other four matches against Shakhtar Donetsk and RB Leipzig, the Scottish champions will finish at the foot of the section regardless of the result in the Bernabeu.
Vinicius believes that’s tough on Postecoglou’s men as he said: “I am not sure Celtic’s position in the group reflects their quality. In the first game, they gave us a difficult first half and it was a tight game. Eventually our quality showed, but the way they played for 60 minutes, I was sure they would pick up more points than they have. Maybe they have just been unlucky.”
